Project Info Dialog

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SUMMARY

This article describes the Project Manager's Files tab and the Files tab capabilities (sorting, including files, excluding files, and setting Code Pages). You'll find the Files tab in the Project Manager's "Project Information" dialog.

MORE INFORMATION

To get to the Project Manager's Files tab, open an existing project such as TASTRADE.PJX, which you'll find in the \VFP\SAMPLES\MAINSAMP subdirectory. Then either choose Project Information from the Project menu, or click the right mouse button anywhere over the Project Manager.

The Project Information dialog is a tabbed dialog. The second Tab is the Files option; choose it to bring it forward. The Files dialog is a summary listing of all the files used by the project.

In the Files tab, there are five columns titled, left to right:

   Type
   Name
   Last Modified
   Included
   Code Page

The columns are also sortable in either ascending or descending order. Click a column header to sort the column in ascending order, or hold down the CTRL key as you click the column header, to sort the column in descending order. The Code Page Column, however, is not sortable.

You can also use the Files dialog to mark and unmark files for inclusion in the project. To do this, click the check box in the Include column or use the Right Mouse menu options. If a box is checked, the file will be included or compiled into the project.

To set the Main program and Code Pages, use the Right mouse menu options. The Main program is shown as a solid black box in the Include column.

The Code Page and Set Main options are enabled only if an appropriate file type is currently selected. For example, if a table is the currently selected file and a Right mouse click is executed, the Set Main option is not enabled.
