The base project

The build file that appears at the top of the Source pane is the base project. The base project changes as you navigate among the build files in your project.

Knowing which build file is the base project is important for three reasons:

For example, suppose masterfoo.bld is the current base project, and contains another program, foochild.bld. If you highlight foochild.bld and then choose Build > Build Program, the Builder compiles the masterfoo.bld program, NOT foochild.bld. To build foochild.bld, you must double-click foochild.bld to make it the base project, then start the build.

Navigating among base projects

During a Builder session, you need to navigate through the various build files of your project hierarchy. To descend one level in the project hierarchy, double-click on the build files to navigate deeper. Then, you can quickly navigate back and forth between levels by using the Back and Forward history buttons:

Navigates up the project hierarchy to the build file that encloses the current base project.

Navigates down the project hierarchy to the location of the previous base project opened.
