<h1>Editor view</h1>
<p>The C/C++ editor provides specialized features for editing C/C++ related files.</p>
<p><img src="../images/view_editor.png" alt="C/C++ Editor" ></p>
<p>Associated with the editor is a C/C++-specific <a href="cdt_u_outline_view.htm">Outline view</a>,
which shows the structure of the active C, C++ or makefile. It is updated as you edit these files.</p>
<p>The editor includes the following features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Syntax highlighting</li>
<li>Content/code assist</li>
<li>Integrated debugging features</li>
</ul>
<p>The most common way to invoke the C/C++ editor is to open a file from
the Project Explorer or the C/C++ Project views using pop-up menus or by clicking the file
(single or double-click depending on the user preferences).</p>
<p>The C/C++ editor does not contain a toolbar itself, but relies on the use of the main
<a href="cdt_u_toolbar.htm">toolbar</a>, <a href="cdt_u_m_edit.htm">edit menu</a>, <a href="cdt_u_m_search.htm">search menu </a>
and key binding actions.</p>
