<h1>Preparing the Workbench</h1>
|
|
|
19 |
|
|
|
20 |
<p>This tutorial will get you started using the C/C++ Development Toolkit (CDT) in the Workbench.</p>
|
|
|
21 |
<p>First, you will verify that the workbench is properly configured for C/C++ development. It is assumed that:</p>
|
|
|
22 |
<ul>
|
|
|
23 |
<li>Your Workbench has its default settings.
|
|
|
24 |
To reset the current perspective to its original layout, from the menu bar select
|
|
|
25 |
<b>Window > Reset Perspective</b>.</li>
|
|
|
26 |
<li>You are familiar with the basic Workbench features, such as
|
|
|
27 |
<a href="../concepts/cdt_c_views.htm">views</a> and
|
|
|
28 |
<a href="../concepts/cdt_c_perspectives.htm">perspectives</a>.
|
|
|
29 |
</li>
|
|
|
30 |
</ul>
|
|
|
31 |
|
|
|
32 |
<h2>Setting the operation and appearance of the C/C++ Editor</h2>
|
|
|
33 |
|
|
|
34 |
<ol>
|
|
|
35 |
<br><li>To open the Workbench preferences, from the menu bar, select <b>Window > Preferences</b>.</li>
|
|
|
36 |
<br><li>Expand <b>C/C++</b> and select <b>Editor</b>.
|
|
|
37 |
|
|
|
38 |
<p><br><a href="javascript:void(0)" onClick="newWin('../images/editor_general_preferences.png')">Click here to see an illustration (displayed in a separate window).</a></p></li>
|
|
|
39 |
<br><li>Make any changes that you require to be comfortable editing files.
|
|
|
40 |
For example, you might want to enable <b>Show line numbers</b> or change the <b>Problem indicator color</b> to a different shade of red. For more information about setting preferences in the editor, see <a href="../reference/cdt_u_c_editor_gen.htm">General page Preferences window</a> in the reference section.</li>
|
|
|
41 |
|
|
|
42 |
<br><li>On the Preferences C/C++ Editor dialog, click the <b>Colors</b> tab. The <b>Colors</b> tab for the C/C++ Editor preferences dialog displays.</p><p><br><a href="javascript:void(0)" onClick="newWin('../images/editor_color_preferences.png')">Click here to see an illustration.</a></p>
|
|
|
43 |
|
|
|
44 |
<br>Again, make any changes that will be useful for your working habits and click <b>OK</b>. For more information see the <a href="../reference/cdt_u_c_editor_color.htm">Color page Preferences window</a> in the reference section.</li>
|
|
|
45 |
|
|
|
46 |
<br><li>On the <b>Preferences C/C++ Editor</b> dialog, click the <b>Content Assist</b> tab. The <b>Preferences C/C++ Editor</b> dialog's <b>Content Assist</b> tab appears.<br>
|
|
|
47 |
<p><br><a href="javascript:void(0)" onClick="newWin('../images/contentAssist_preferences.png')">Click here to see an illustration.</a></p>
|
|
|
48 |
|
|
|
49 |
|
|
|
50 |
<p><br>If you want to set an auto-activation delay or change the background for completion proposals, do so now. For more information see the <a href="../reference/cdt_u_c_editor_con_assist.htm">Content Assist page Preferences window</a> in the reference section.</p></li>
|
|
|
51 |
<br><li>Leave the preferences by clicking <b>OK</b>.</li>
|
|
