These dialogs are used to configure and invoke tools in RAD Studio.

Description 
ToolsCodeGuard Configuration
Use the CodeGuard Configuration dialog box to specify how the CodeGuard runtime debugger behaves.
Note: CodeGuard is available for only C++ projects.
 
 
ToolsConfigure Tools
Indicates which programs are available on the Tools menu.  
ToolsTemplate LibrariesPropertiesEdit button
Use this dialog box to edit information about an object in the Object Repository.  
ToolsExport to Visual Studio...
Use this dialog to convert the current project to a Microsoft Visual Studio project.  
The History Manager lets you see and compare versions of a file, including multiple backup versions, saved local changes, and the buffer of unsaved changes for the active file. If the current file is under version control, all types of revisions are available in the History Manager.
The History Manager is displayed on the History tab, which is in the center of the IDE to the right of the Code tab. The History Manager contains the following tabbed pages:  
ToolsRepository
Use this dialog box to edit, move, and remove form and project template libraries.  
ToolsTemplate Libraries
Adds, edits, and removes template libraries from the IDE.  
ToolsConfigure ToolsAdd and Edit button
Use this dialog box to enter or edit the properties for a program listed on the Tools menu.  
ToolsXML Mapper
At design-time, defines the mappings between generic XML documents and the data packets that client datasets use. Each mapping describes the correspondences between the nodes of an XML document and the fields in a data packet.
You can define mappings from an existing XML schema (or document) to a client dataset that you define, from an existing data packet to a new XML schema you define, or between an existing XML schema and an existing data packet. 
ToolsPrecompiled Header Wizard
Use this wizard to create a master precompiled header for your C++ project. The wizard analyzes the project, collects header file information, selects headers based on criteria that you set, and then generates a master precompiled header file that can be used to precompile.
Including a precompiled header binary can significantly reduce the number of lines of code that the compiler must process. Theoretically, a well-selected precompiled header can also significantly reduce the time required to compile your project.
Note: Not all of the features described here are present for every instance of the wizard.
 
ToolsWeb App Debugger
Acts like a Web server on your development machine. If you build your Web server application as a Web App Debugger executable, deployment happens automatically during the build process. To debug your application, start it using RunRun. Next, select ToolsWeb App Debugger, click the default URL and select your application in the Web browser that appears. Your application will launch in the browser window, and you can use the IDE to set breakpoints and obtain debugging information.
