<p align="left">One way would be to copy the file into an existing  &quot;System includes&quot; directory, such as the UIQ SDK's epoc32\include directory. Alternately, you could copy the file into  a &quot;User includes&quot; directory in your project (for example, inc) and add the directory as a system included directory in the MMP file.</p>

<p align="left">To add a directory, double-click on the .mmp file in your project (in group folder by default) to open the MMP editor. Click the Options tab and select the System includes  folder  in the Compiler Settings group. Click Add to browse to and add the directory containing your .rh file. You can also click the &quot;Add a system include path&quot; link in the Overview page.</p>

<p align="left">After placing the custom component into the UI design and saving the file, the example VerticalLabel.cpp file will be placed into the source folder (default is src) of your S60 UI Designer project. The VerticalLabel.cpp file is used to draw the VerticalLabel component on your handheld device or in the emulator at runtime. For the VerticalLabel2 example, the associated JavaScript file is used to draw the custom component only at design time in the UI design.</p>
