Export
Information, such as service files, templates, and snippets, in the project can be grouped and exported as a single file. The exported item is created as the file with the xpackage extension and can be imported when executing Import.
Selecting & Exporting the Export Item from File Menu
If you select the menu [File > Export] when the project is open, then the Export Wizard is executed.
Item | Description | |
|---|---|---|
1 | Name | Sets the file name to export. Creates the [file name].xpackage file. |
2 | Location | Sets the path to create the file to export. The default path is specified as the project path. The path can be changed. |
3 | Project/Template | When selecting the tab, the lists of Project, Template are displayed in the File List area. |

The items checked in the File List are displayed in the Export Package File window. Only the items displayed in the Export Package File window will be exported.
Services or items without the exporting targets cannot be checked.
Selecting & Exporting the Export Item from Context Menu
Services or items that support export can select Export from the context menu. As when selecting the menu [File > Export], Export Wizard is executed and the selected item is checked and displayed in the Export Package File list.
When selected from the context menu, only the items for which the service or template type of the project is filtered are displayed.
Import
You can import the xpackage files exported using the Export function or the individual files.
Selecting & Importing the Import Item from File Menu

Rename & Add: Keeps the existing items and imports the selected items from the File List with different names. The name is changed in the form of "_copy0" after the item name and it is displayed as (new). Overwrite: Overwrites the existing item. It is displayed as (overwrite) after the item name. - Files that are not duplicate are displayed as (new), regardless of the selected processing method. |

Selecting & Importing the Import Item from the Context Menu
Services or items that support import can select Import from the context menu. You can select individual files to import or select the xpackage file to run the Import Wizard. Individual files can be imported by selecting multiple files.
If there is a file with a duplicate name, then it will check if you want to overwrite or change it to a different name.
When the xpackage is selected, the Import Wizard is executed as in the case of selecting the menu [File > Import]. The Import Wizard is executed with the selected xpackage item selected as the file to import.
Importing File by Drag & Drop from File Explorer
You can select and import the xfdl file from the file explorer using drag and drop. If you select a file from the file explorer and drag and drop it to the Nexacro Studio area, then the following message will be displayed.
If you select [Yes], then the Import Wizard will be executed, and if you select [No], then the file will be opened without being included in the project and the source code will be shown.
The Import Wizard selects the service to import the file from and selects the processing method on duplicate files to import the file.
Install Module Wizard
Module (.xmodule) Installation
You can bring an .xmodule file from a module project and then install it. To this end, go to the menu [File > Install Module] and specify the path to an .xmodule file.
Look over the list of objects included in the module and then add necessary objects. You can later determine whether to use added objects by accessing TypeDefinition.
You must restart the project if you are to complete the module installation.
After the restart, you should check whether you can search the installed module in TypeDefinition.
The installed module will be located under the directory [Project Path]\_extlib_\.
ActiveX Control Installation
A Plugin component allows you to apply plug-in functions to your app. However, a Plugin component cannot supply the APIs used in an individual ActiveX control because it only provides common properties, methods and events.
While not all browsers support an ActiveX control, the below browsers do so.
IE8, IE9, IE10, IE11, NRE (Windows)
An ActiveX control can be installed like a module. You need to create a meta tag while you can see the properties, methods and events that are contained by a certain ActiveX control. To begin, access the menu [File > Install Module] and select "ActiveX Control" from Install Type.
Select an ActiveX control you want to install and then enter the object ID, which will be registered as the ClassName of the component.
In the next step, Nexacro Studio produces the files required to install the ActiveX control in the form of a module. Those files will be located under the [Project Path]\_extlib_\ path. Afterward, click the Register TypeDefinition button at the bottom of the wizard to register the ActiveX control as a module in TypeDefinition and then restart the project.
Access the menu [TypeDefinition > Objects] in the Project Explorer to see the object list and then you can see the ActiveX control installed as a module. You can put the created module on a Form like any other component.
When you place the module on a Form, you can see the properties and events provided by the ActiveX control through the Properties pane.
You can see the methods provided by the ActiveX control through the script editor.
We recommend using the getProperty method when you want to obtain a property value of an ActiveX control through the script editor. If you directly access the property value, the return value may differ from the actual value.
