You can open two types of files:

• Project file-a file containing information on building a CodeWarrior project
• Text file-a source code, interface, or other text file

To open a project file, choose the Open command from the File Menu. For information on opening CodeWarrior project files, see "Opening an Existing Project."

To open a text file or a source code file, choose the Open command from the File Menu. The IDE displays an Open dialog box, as shown in Figure 4.1 (Windows), Figure 4.2 (Mac OS), and Figure 4.3 (Solaris).

From the Files of Type pop-up menu, select All Files. The list of files changes to show all the files in the current folder, including text files.

The dialog box displays a list of the available project and text files in the current folder. If the file is a stationery text file, the IDE will open a new, untitled editor window and copy the contents of the stationery file into the window.

The dialog box displays a list of the available project and text files in the current directory.

Select the file you would like to open, and click Open. The CodeWarrior IDE opens the file in an editor window.
