Finding list of header files in editor

[AndersJ]

In the upper left corner of the editor form there is a "h" button.

It will pull down a list of header files included in the particular source file.

It is a convenient way to locate and open a .h file.

Now for some reason all I get when I click the "h" is

a message: "Not a project file"

Why does this happen, and how do I fix it?

Thanks,

Anders J

I was having the same problem and I found that after adding files to the project I needed to shutdown and restart CW for the ".h" button to work.

In the default setup, those entries are filed by the compiler, hence you have to compile it once. Restarting is not necessary.

This lookup works by asking the project for the list.
If you open a C file which CW cannot accociate with a project, you get this "Not a project file".
Maybe it should read "this file is not part of any currently open project", but this may be a bit long.

So
- open your project
- add it to your project
- you can also jump to header files by selecting the filename in the #include line, and press Ctrl-D (or the "Find and Open File..." context menu))
- there is a special shortcut to jump between header and implementation file, look it up in Edit->Command and Keybindings ->Miscellaneous->Go to header/source file. (the default keybinding for it does work fine on US keyboards, but not on my local one here. So I do usually change it locally)
