   		<h1>Creating your C++ file</h1>
   		
   		<p>Once you have created a new remote C/C++ project, you can begin coding your program. 
   		The .cpp file that you create will be saved in the project folder you just created in
		<a href="creating_a_remote_project.html">Creating a remote project</a>.</p>
		
		<p>Files are edited in the <b>Remote C/C++ Editor</b> located to the  right of 
		the <b>Project Explorer</b> view. The left margin of the <b>Remote C/C++ Editor</b>, called the marker 
		bar, displays icons for items such as bookmarks, breakpoints, and compiler errors and warnings.</p>
		
		<p>For more information about:</p>
		<ul>
		  <li>The marker bar, see <b>Workbench User Guide &gt; Reference &gt; User interface 
		  information &gt; Icons and buttons &gt; Editor area marker bar</b></li>
		  <li>The editor area, see <b>Workbench User Guide &gt; Reference &gt; User interface 
		  information &gt; Views and editors &gt; Editor area</b></li>
		</ul>
		
		<p>To create a C++ file:</p>
		<ol>
		  <li>In the <b>Project Explorer</b> view, right-click a project, and
		select <b>New &gt; File &gt; Other</b>.<br>
		    <img src="../images/create_c_file_01.png"
		 alt="New &gt; File &gt; Other in Projects View"></li>
		 <li>Select <b>Source file</b> under <b>C++</b>.<br>
		    <img src="../images/create_c_file_02.png"
		 alt="New Source file in New Wizard Dialog"></li>
		  <li>In the <b>Source File</b> box, type a name followed by the
		appropriate extension.  Select a template.</li>
		  <li>Click <b>Finish</b>.<br>
		    <img src="../images/create_c_file_03.png" alt="New Source File Wizard"></li>
		  <p>The file will open in the Remote C/C++ editor.</p>
		  <li>Enter your code in the editor view.<br>
		    <img src="../images/create_c_file_04.png"
		 alt="Editor view with a sample code"></li>
		  <li>Type <b>CTRL+S</b> to save the file.</li>
		</ol>

		<p>Your new .cpp file is displayed in the <b>Project Explorer</b> view. Before you 
		can build your newly created project, you must create a makefile.  
		See <a href="creating_your_makefile.html">Creating your makefile</a>.</p>
