INFO: Glyphs in Visual C++ with Source Code Control Enabled

• Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, 32-bit, for Windows versions 4.0, 5.0, 6.0
• Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, versions 4.0, 5.0, 6.0

SUMMARY

Visual C++ supports integration with a source code control provider, such as Visual SourceSafe. The color and glyphs used in File View reflect the state of any given file within a project workspace relative to source code control.

The information in this article is valid independent of the source code control provider you use, but is specific to Visual SourceSafe.

MORE INFORMATION

In FileView, if a given file is under source code control, the "file glyph" is one sheet of gray paper, folded in the right corner. If the file is not under source code control, the file glyph is one sheet of white paper, folded in the right corner. If the file is under source code control and is shared with another project, the file glyph is two sheets of gray paper folded in the right corner. Files checked out from the source code control provider have a red check mark to the left of the file glyph.

It is possible to create a resource script and check it out, but not check out underlying image files used by the resource script. Developer Studio is smart enough to prompt you to check out, for example, the underlying .bmp file before allowing you to start editing a toolbar bitmap. If you do not check the file out, you will not be able to save any changes you make to the bitmap file.

NOTE: For non-text files, only one user can effectively check the file out at a time.
