Setting Project Options

Use the ProjectOptions dialog box to:

  • Set compiler options, such as search paths and warning/error levels, for the compiler you are using (Delphi or C++). You can also set options for any available related compilers such as the Resource Compiler and the Turbo Assembler
  • Set debugger options, such as the location of symbol tables and the rules to follow for loading symbol tables
  • Set application options, such as the application title (displayed in the Windows task tray) and the name of the application's help file
 

Making changes to the Project Options for one project only affects the current project. However, you can also save your selections as build configurations or option sets so that you can re-use the settings for new projects that you create as well as existing projects.

To change option values

  1. Choose ProjectOptions. The Project Options dialog box appears.
  2. Select a page from the list in the left-hand pane of the ProjectOptions dialog box. Pages include compiler options for the compiler you are using, as well as pages for Debugger, Packages, Build Events, Build Order, and more.
  3. Set options on each page to determine how your project will be built.
    • Depending on the option, you might enter text in a text field, either check or uncheck a box, or make a selection from a pull down menu.
    • If an option's value is boldface, the value differs from its parent configuration's value. To display help for the option page, click the Help button.
    • Build-related pages (including the compiler pages) typically contain a two-column list of options. The option name is in the left-hand column; the option value is in the right-hand column.
      • Some options have an ellipsis button Ellipsis that you click to display a dialog to manage a list of items, such as paths or directories.
      • Some options have a down-arrow button Down Arrow that you click to display and select from the possible choices for the option.
  4. Click OK to accept the changes and close the dialog. Click Cancel to ignore the changes and close the dialog. Project options are not actually saved to disk until you build and save your project.
