| <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 > Reference > User interface |
| information > Icons and buttons > Editor area marker bar</b></li> |
| <li>The editor area, see <b>Workbench User Guide > Reference > User interface |
| information > Views and editors > 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 > File > Other</b>.<br> |

| <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> |
