| Welcome to using Phidgets with C! By using C, you will have access to the complete Phidget22 API, including events.
| |
| | |
| Visual Studio is an IDE provided by Microsoft that can be used to develop code in a wide variety of programming languages, including C/C++.

| ==Using Phidgets in Your Programs==
| |
| | |
| There are two main ways you can go about adding Phidgets to your programs in Visual Studio. You can either start from a working project provided by the Phidgets code sample generator, or you can add the Phidgets libraries to an existing Visual Studio project.
| |
| | |
| Select your preferred method below for instructions:

| | |
| ==Using the Code Samples==
| |
| | |
| You can download a working '''Visual Studio''' project for '''C''' directly from the [{{server}}/?view=code_samples&lang=C Code Samples] page. Simply make your selections, and click the '''Visual Studio Project''' button under '''Downloads'''.

| | |
| ==Setting up a New Project==
| |
| When you are building a project from scratch, or adding Phidget functionality to an existing project, you'll need to configure your development environment to properly link the Phidget C library. To begin:
| |
| | |
| | |
| Create a new Win32 Console application:
| |
| | |
| [[Image:C_vs_newproject.PNG|link=|center|800px]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| Select an empty project and finish:
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| | |
| If you are using a 64-bit machine, select x64, otherwise, keep x86:

| | |

| |
| | |
| | |
| Next, add a new item to your source folder:
| |
| | |
| [[Image:C_vs_additem.png|link=|center|800px]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| Give the source file a descriptive name and continue:
| |
| | |
| [[Image:C_vs_addsource.PNG|link=|center|800px]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| Access the project's properties:
| |
| | |
| [[Image:C_vs_propertie.png|link=|center|800px]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| Next, navigate to Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> General and add the following line to the additional include directories:
| |
| *C:\Program Files\Phidgets\Phidget22
| |
| | |
| | |
| [[Image:C_vs_additionalinclude.png|link=|center|800px]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| Navigate to Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input and add the appropriate line to the additional dependencies:
| |
| *C:\Program Files\Phidgets\Phidget22\phidget22.lib (for 64-bit systems)
| |
| *C:\Program Files\Phidgets\Phidget22\x86\phidget22.lib (for 32-bit systems)
| |
| | |
| [[Image:C_vs_additionadepend.png|link=|center|800px]]
| |
| | |
| Finally, include the Phidget library in your code, and any other header files:
| |
| | |
| <syntaxhighlight lang='C'>
| |
| #include <phidget22.h>
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| [[Image:C_vs_finished.PNG|link=|center|800px]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| Success! The project now has access to Phidgets.
