Project

These dialogs are used to set up projects and build configurations in RAD Studio.

Name	Description
Add to Repository	ProjectAdd to Repository Saves a customized form or project template in the Object Repository for reuse in other projects. The saved forms and templates are then available in the New Items dialog box when you choose FileNewOther.
Project Options
UDDI Browser	ProjectAdd Web Reference Searches for services and providers in the UDDI services sites with WSDL described services. Search by name or browse through available categorization schemas.
C++ Project Options	This section describes dialog boxes used to set C++ project and compiling options.
Change Package	Adds required units to your package. This dialog box appears when the Package Editor tries to compile a package and detects that the package cannot be built, or is incompatible with another package currently loaded by the IDE. This occurs because the package uses one or more units that are found in another package.
Project Dependencies	ProjectDependencies Creates project dependencies within a project group. From the list, choose the projects to build before building the selected project.
Add Languages	ProjectLanguagesAdd Language Adds one or more language resource DLLs to a project. Follow the instructions on each wizard page.
Remove Language	ProjectLanguagesRemove Language Removes one or more languages from the project. Follow the instructions on each wizard page.
Set Active Language	ProjectLanguagesSet Active Language Determines the language module that loads when you run your application in the IDE. Before changing the active language, make sure you have recompiled the resource dll for the language you want to use. Select the desired language and click Finish.
New Category Name	ProjectAdd to RepositoryNew Category button Creates a new category for your saved form or template. The new category will then be available in the New Items dialog box when you choose FileNewOther.
Information	ProjectInformation Views the program compilation information and compilation status for your project.
Project Page Options	ProjectProject Page Options Specifies an HTML file in your project as the Project Page for recording a description of the project, and various other notes and information. This page is automatically displayed in the IDE when you open the project.
Remove from Project	ProjectRemove from Project Removes one or more files from the current project.
Select Icon	Selects a bitmap to represent your template in the New Items dialog box. You can use a bitmap of any size, but it will be cropped to 60 x 40 pixels.
Web Deploy Options	ProjectWeb Deploy Options Configures a finished ActiveX control or ActiveForm for deployment to a Windows Web server. Tip: Set these options before you compile the ActiveX project and deploy it by choosing Project->Web Deploy.
Build All Projects	ProjectBuild All Projects Compiles all of the source code in the current project group, regardless of whether any source code has changed. Building is useful when you are unsure which files have changed, or if you have changed project or compiler options.
Build Project	ProjectBuild Project Rebuilds all files in your current project regardless of whether they have changed. Building is useful when you are unsure which files have changed, or if you have changed project or compiler options.
Compile and Make All Projects	ProjectCompile ProjectMake All Projects Compile (for Delphi) and Make (for C++ ) compiles only those files that have changed since the last build, as well as any files that depend on them. Compiling or making does not execute the application (see RunRun).
Add to Project	ProjectAdd to Project Adds another source file to an already open project.
Add New Project	ProjectAdd New Project Adds new projects via the New Items dialog box .
Clean Package	ProjectClean Package Removes previously compiled files and leaves behind only the source files needed to build the project. Specifically , it cleans out any .dcu's, .bpl's, etc., that were generated.
Default Options	ProjectDefault Options Opens the default Project Options dialog box for the specified project type: C++Builder or Delphi for Win32. This option is only available when there is not an open project. After the Project Options dialog opens help is available from each page of the dialog. Click Help or press F1.
Options	ProjectOptions Opens the Project Options dialog that manages application and compiler options for your project. Making changes to your project only affects the current project. However, you can also save your selections as the default settings for new projects.
Syntax Check for Project	ProjectSyntax Check for Project Checks the active project for incorrect symbols. This is an efficient way to check and see if a large project will build correctly prior to compiling. Errors are reported in the Compiling dialog with details shown in the Messages pane.
Update Localized Projects	ProjectLanguagesUpdate Localized Projects Updates resource modules. When you add an additional resource, such as a button on a form, you must update your resource modules to reflect your changes. Build and save your project before you update the resources.
View Source	ProjectView Source Shows the source of the project file that manages the running of the application. Dephi shows a .dpr file. C++ shows a .cpp file.
Resources	ProjectResources Allows you to add Windows resources such as fonts, cursors, bitmaps, and other graphics to a project. You can assign resource identifiers and resource types to each item in this dialog. Once the resources are added, they are automatically compiled and linked into the application. Resource files include files with the following file extensions: .bmp, .cur, .fnt, .fon, .gif, .ico, .jfif, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .ttf.
