Open an Existing Program

Refer to your tri-fold brochure,
Microsoft Visual C++
Quick Reference Guide,
  as you read  through this page
  for the first time

If you cannot finish typing your program in one sitting, you will need to save the program and return to it at another time.  Let's see how to open a program that has already been written and is stored on the computer.

A project workspace (the left side) must always be open when you are working.

 

1.  Pull down FILE menu

2.  Select OPEN WORKSPACE

3.  Double click to open project folder.

4.  Double click on project.dsw

If your code does not appear in the editor window at this time:

5.  Pull down the FILE menu

6.  Select OPEN

7.  Select your program.cpp

 

 Choosing only FILE/OPEN, will cause a prompt box to appear when you attempt to execute the program.  Do not create a default workspace.
Click NO and return to step 1 above.
