Project settings can be customized using the Properties dialog box. You can access this dialog box by selecting a project and then selecting Properties... from the Project menu. Changes to the customized settings are saved in the project folder in your workspace. You can also customize the C/C++ properties for a single file for example, if you want to apply a specific compiler option to a file during the build.
Note
If you specify different options for a single file, it overrides the options specified in the project configuration panels that apply to all related source files.
The contents of the properties hierarchy tree for a project include the following:
- Resource
Displays the resource location, modification state, and file type.
- Builders
Controls builders available for the selected project.
- C/C++ Build
Controls the environment, build, and tool chain settings for the active configuration.
- C/C++ General
Controls documentation, file types, indexer and path/symbol settings.
- Project References
Controls project dependencies.
For more information on the other options not listed here, use the dynamic help.
