Use this window to access your projects and files during the application development.

Drop-down list

At the top of the window there is a drop-down list where you can choose a build configuration to display in the window for a specific project.

The display area

This area contains up to three columns.

The Files column displays the name of the current workspace and a tree representation of the projects, groups and files included in the workspace.

Note

An asterisk (*) after the filename means that changes have been made to the workspace/project or settings since it was last saved.

One or more of these icons are displayed:

The column OptionsIcon_Mym81_02.pngthat contains status information about option overrides can have one of three icons for each level in the project:

Blank

There are no settings/overrides for this file/group.

Black check mark

There are local settings/overrides for this file/group.

Red check mark

There are local settings/overrides for this file/group, but they are either identical to the inherited settings or they are ignored because you use multi-file compilation, which means that the overrides are not needed.

The column SCCIcon.pngcontains status information about version control, if this is enabled. For information about the various icons, see Subversion states.

Use the tabs at the bottom of the window to choose which project to display. Alternatively, you can choose to display an overview of the entire workspace.
