Working With the Phone Book Administrator
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a VB application. To edit this, it is best to copy the 'source' subdirectory,
|
||
|
|
where the required files are located, to another directory, then edit the VB
|
||
|
|
project using Visual Basic (the current version used is VB6). When done with editing,
|
||
|
|
compare the files with the originals, check out the ones that have changed and
|
||
|
|
check in the updated files. You must also use Visual Basic to generate PBADMIN.exe,
|
||
|
|
which is checked in separately, see below.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changing resource strings
|
||
|
|
-------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This one is special :-) Most of the string resources used by PBA are in a .res file,
|
||
|
|
pbadmin.res. Look for the string you need to change - if it is actually in a form you
|
||
|
|
can just make the changes using VB6 (as above).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Otherwise, check out pba_res.rc for editing and make the changes needed. See if your
|
||
|
|
razzle window has a variable named INCLUDE, with the Windows header files on it. If not:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> set INCLUDE=%_NTDRIVE%%_NTROOT%\public\sdk\inc
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now build the new .res file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> nmake pba_res.res
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now check out pbadmin.res, and copy pba_res.res to pbadmin.res. Using the new .res
|
||
|
|
file, start up VB6, generate PBADMIN.exe as above, and check in all the changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Creating the PBA install package
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To build this, you need several support files (which probably will not change),
|
||
|
|
as well as the PBADMIN.exe you've created above. The required common files are
|
||
|
|
checked in under the 'buildit' subdirectory. Under buildit, 'sources0' contains
|
||
|
|
"external" support files and 'sources1' contains other ("internal") support files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PBAINST.exe is automatically built during the PostBuild process, using the script
|
||
|
|
%_NTBINDIR%\tools\PostBuildScripts\PbaInst.cmd. In preparation for this, during
|
||
|
|
the compile phase any required files must be binplace'd to %_NTTREE%\PbaInst as
|
||
|
|
needed. Once built, PBAINST.exe is placed in Valueadd\Msft\Mgmt\Pba.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
