The Visual SourceSafe SCC system performs operations on a selected file by sending requests through the Microsoft Common Source Code Control Interface Specification. The following list gives an overview of the source code control operations for the Visual SourceSafe default behavior. The advanced dialog boxes offer additional options, which are described in the Visual SourceSafe documentation. Refer to the Microsoft Web site for the latest documentation.
Note Clicking Help in the Visual SourceSafe dialog boxes might hide the original dialog box. After closing the Visual SourceSafe help, press <Alt-Tab> to find the original dialog box.
Note You have the option to leave VIs in LLBs. However, all source code control operations on a VI are performed on the LLB containing that VI, not on the VI itself.
Get Latest VersionCopies the latest version to your local directory and reverts the VI. If the file was originally checked out, it will be checked back out after the copy. Any changes that you made to the VI are lost.
Check InSaves the VI, prompts you to enter a change comment, and reverts the VI. Checking in a file copies your local version to the server.
Check OutChecks out a file, copies the latest revision to your local directory, and reverts the VI. The file cannot be checked out by another user while you have it checked out.
Undo Check OutChanges the file status to checked in, copies the server version to your local directory, and reverts the VI. Any changes that you made to the VI are lost.
Add to SCCSaves the VI and adds it to Visual SourceSafe. If the file is saved in a subdirectory, the appropriate subprojects are automatically created.
Remove from SCCDeletes the file on the server. The local copy of the file is not affected. Visual SourceSafe retains all previous versions of the file.
Show HistoryLaunches the Visual SourceSafe History dialog box.
Compare FilesCopies the latest server version from Visual SourceSafe to your temporary directory as cmp.filename and compares the files using LabVIEW. The temporary file is deleted from your temp directory, but the file remains in memory.
PropertiesLaunches the Visual SourceSafe Properties dialog box.
