Regarding the EWO as a plugin or lib for WinCC OA

[Pradeep Kumar]

Hi,

I came across the document saying

An EWO is dynamically loaded into the WinCC OA user Interface(it is compiled as a plugin into shared library dll)

I didnt get this statement, do the user need the lib or plugin for renaming as .ewo?.



Thanks,

On Windows, for whatever dubious reason, you get two files: .lib and .dll
What we load is the .dll, but you need to rename it to .ewo
On Linux, there is just one file: .so, so you need to rename this one.

@Martin thanks ,

So i will need to create the Qt App as a .dll shared library so that we compile, we get .dll and then we can rename as For Ex : MyApp.ewo. Out the .dll created
Is my understanding clear.

Thanks,

yes, that's correct.
