Projects

Alternative: Create a Project first

  1. Under File menu: New > Project > Win32 Console Application
  2. Click on Location to select a parent directory( = folder) where the new project directory will be created.
  3. Type in a name for the new project directory; e.g., project1
  4. Click OK. A "Workspace 'project1' window should appear. Near the bottom of this window there will be a ClassView tab and a FileView tab.
  5. As before, you can now create a new C++ source file.
  6. Click on the FileView Tab. You should see a "tree" diagram with three folder icons for "Source Files", "Header Files", and "Resource Files". Right click on Source Files and select "Add Files to Folder" and select the new file you just created.
  7. Under the Build menu, select Build.
  8. The remaining steps are the same as in the first method.
