## C/C++ Project and File Properties

The Properties window allows you to change the general settings for a project and individual files.

To change the settings for a project, right-click the project from the Project Explorer, C/C++ Project, or Symbian Project Navigator views, and choose Properties from the context menu. The Properties for <project_name> window will then show all the project settings. If you alter the settings, then the settings are applied as defaults for all files in the project.

The Carbide.c++ panels include:

- Build Configurations
- Macro Settings
- Project Settings
- other - additional panels may appear here as well. For example, CodeScanner and UI Designer, to name two.

To change the settings only for a particular file, right-click the file from the Project Explorer, C/C++ Project, or Symbian Project Navigator views, and choose Properties from the context menu. The Properties for <file_name> window shows the settings that are relevant to that file.
