<h2>Creating New Projects</h2>
<div class="Bodytext">
<p>New projects are created using the <b>New Project Wizard</b>. Carbide includes a number of templates that make creating projects for different SDKs and executables quick and easy.</p>
<p class="note"><b>NOTE</b> You must have at least one recognized SDK installed before you can create a project. See the <a href="../reference/SDKPreferences.html">SDK Preferences panel</a> to determine if the installed SDKs are recognized by Carbide.c++ IDE. If the SDK you have is not recognized, you may still be able to <a href="sdks/sdk_add.htm">add</a> it to the Discovered Symbian OS SDK list.</p>
<p class="note"><b>NOTE</b> When creating or importing projects the sources and SDK must be on the same drive. This is due to many of the internal SDK tools using an implicit working drive to calculate paths (e.g. \epoc32\tools). Avoid spaces in SDK paths since this will also cause problems.</p>
<div class="step">
<h3>Creating New Symbian OS C++ Projects</h3>
<ol>
<li class="step">Select <b>File > New > Symbian OS C++ Project</b> to invoke the <b>New Project</b> wizard.</span></li>
<p><img src="../images/step1.png" width="506" height="318" alt="" ></p>
<li>The <b class="step">New Symbian OS C++ Project</b> wizard appears. Select a template related to an installed SDK.</li>
<p>A project template provides the initial source files and project settings appropriate for the chosen project type. A brief description of each template appears below the list. The project type determines the type of program that you are writing.</p>
<p class="note"><b>NOTE</b> If the selected template requires user input, additional wizard pages will collect data from the user before creating the project.</p>
<p>Checkmark the <b>Filter templates based on enabled SDKs</b> option to only list SDKs enabled in the <a href="../reference/SDKPreferences.html">SDK Preferences</a> panel. Uncheck this option to list SDKs that can be used with Carbide. Click <b>Next</b>.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="../images/step2.png" width="500" height="567" alt="" ></p>
<li>Enter a name for your project. </li>
<p>Checkmark the <b>Use default location</b> option to save the project in the current workspace by default or uncheck it to save to another location. Enter the path in the <b>Location</b> field or click <b>Browse</b> button to locate the directory. Click <b>Next</b>.</p>
<p align="center"><span class="Image"><img src="images/new_proj_name_location.png" alt="new project" width="500" height="400"></span><span class="Image"><br>
</span></p>
<li>Select the <b>SDKs and Build Configurations</b>. </li>
<p>Checkmark the <b>Filter SDKs based on selected template</b> option to only show build configurations based on the selected SDK template, or uncheck to show all enabled SDKs and their related build configurations.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="../images/step4.png" width="500" height="500" alt="" ></p>
<p class="Image">The Symbian OS SDKs wizard page shows a tree of the SDKs and the type of builds available within that SDK. Select a single SDK
if the program you are developing is for just one version of a platform,
or select multiple SDKs to build the program for multiple build platforms or SDK versions.</p>
<p> The build configuration allows you to specify the compiler(s) to
do the build, and whether debug and/or release builds are required. For this example we recommend using the Emulator Debug version as the <a href="../concepts/build_configurations.htm">build configuration</a>. Later, you can <a href="projects/prj_set_build_tgt.htm">switch</a> to another build configuration to create the project for a specific device.</p>
<p> Click <b>Next</b>.</p>
<li>Set the project properties in the <b>Basic Settings</b> page. </li>

<p align="left" class="note"><b>NOTE</b> The basic properties for a project may change based on the template selected for a particular project type. </p>
<p align="left" style="font-weight: normal;">Fill in the applicable fields, which
may include UID2, UID3, Vendor ID, Author, Support Email, Copyright
notice and Target Type for console EXEs.</p>
<p>Application UID (or UID3) is used to uniquely identify the binary (EXE or DLL) within the system. The purpose of UID 3 is to prevent one executable from interfering the operation of another executable.</p>
<p> A Vendor ID (VID) is a unique identifier for the organization that is supplying the program. In versions of Symbian OS with platform security, a program can read a VID at runtime to check that a binary comes from a particular source. In most cases, the VID should be zero, meaning that source of the executable is not required for any security checks.</p>
<p style="font-weight: normal;">UID 2 is a unique identifier number that identifies the type of interface that the
project implements. The values are defined by Symbian</p>
<ul>
<li>For GUI applications, it is always 0x100039CE</li>
<li>For static interface DLLs, the UID 2 is always 0x1000008d</li>
<li>For polymorphic DLLs, the UID2 is defined by the framework which is being implemented</li>
</ul>
Author, Copyright notice, and Text to be shown are used in comments created by the wizard in the source code.

and Vendor IDs, see </span><a
