Creating a new project
Before you start
Before you can work with metadata files, you must have a project in the Carbide.c++ environment and a folder that contains the metadata files. If you already have a project that you want to use, see the instructions in Importing a project.
To create a new project from scratch, do the following:
- Go to File > New > Project...
- Select General > Project, and click Next.
- Type in the name of your project and select the directory where it is stored.
- Click Finish.
The new project is created to the Carbide.c++ project view.
- To create a folder for the metadata, right-click the project name and select New > Folder.
- Enter a name for the metadata folder.
- Click Advanced and select the Link to folder in the file system option.
- Click Browse to select your project folder that contains the API Metadata.
- Click Finish.
The metadata files can now be found in your project where they can be opened and edited, as shown in the following example:
