activate - Mark file, project, or build configuration as active

Syntax

IDEs

This function supports the following IDEs:

• Analog Devices™ VisualDSP++^®

• Eclipse™ IDE

• Green Hills^® MULTI^®

• Texas Instruments™ Code Composer Studio™ v3

Description

Use the IDE_Obj.activate('objectname','type') method to make a project file or build configuration active in the MATLAB session.

When you make a project, file, or build configuration active, methods you invoke on the IDE handle object apply to that project, file, or build configuration.

Input Arguments

IDE_Obj	For IDE_Obj, enter the name of the IDE handle object you created using a constructor function.
objectname	For objectname, enter the name of the project file or build configuration to make active. For project files, enter the full file name including the extension. For build configurations, enter 'Debug', 'Release', or 'Custom'. Before using the activate method on a build configuration, activate the project that contains the build configuration. For more information about configurations, see Configuration.
type	For type, enter the type of object to make active. If you omit the type argument, type defaults to 'project'. Enter one of the following strings for type: 'project' — Makes a specified project active. 'buildcfg' — Make a specified build configuration active IDE support for type   CCS Eclipse MULTI VisualDSP++ 'project' Yes Yes Yes Yes 'buildcfg' Yes Yes   Yes

Examples

After using a constructor to create the IDE handle object, h, open several projects, make the first one active, and build the project:

h.open('c:\temp\myproj1')
h.open('c:\temp\myproj2')
h.open('c:\temp\myproj3')
h.activate('c:\temp\myproj1', 'project')
h.build

After making a project active, make the 'debug' configuration active:

h.activate('debug','buildcfg')
