Hi,

Can I set/create environment variables from Wizard Script ?
I'm working on a DLL wizard script.  And I want to set/create some environment
variable for my Host Application so it can find the DLL.
Is it possible ?

I check SetVar() function, which is not what I expected.
Thanks a lot.

Regards,
KC

You want to set variables in Environment variables plugin (envvar) оr you want to use something like putenv() C lib function?

Either way which can be used in Wizard script.
I want to add (export) some environment variables from my DLL Wizard
which will be available when user click "Build->Run" or "Debug->Start" to
launch my host application.

My application will search a special path for DLL.  The default path could be
changed by environment variable MYAPP_DLL_DIR.

What I want is set MYAPP_DLL_DIR (at the time user create the project
via my Wizard) to the target output dir so the host app
can find the DLL created in C::B by default.
Is that possible ?

kccheng: Take a look at the envvar plugin. It does what you want in terms of features (you can set env variables, when your applications is executed from inside C::B).
I'm not sure how scriptable it is, probably not much, but it could be made. It is not that difficult.
