Purpose

Add All Loaded Files to Current Project.

Operation

This function adds an entry in the Current project for each file that is currently open.

This function is indispensable for managing projects.

Examples

tlaProjAddOpenFiles( )

With one or more files open, issue tlaProjFileAdd( ). Each of the files will be added to the Current project.

CodeWright has a popup menu for the Current project and a separate popup menu for the non-Current projects.

The top of the Current project popup menu has two entries. We recommend that you add a third entry for the function that complements the other two. This results in:

Menu Item Text Execute Function
Add New Files... DlgProjectEx NULL TAB_PROJFILES_ID 4 NULL 1
Add Existing Files  
Add Open Files tlaProjAddOpenFiles

The top of the non-Current project popup menu has an entry to allow you to swap to another project by making it current. This unfortunately closese all open files before it swaps to the new project. We recommend that you add an entry that swaps to the new project and does not close the files before doing so. This gives you the option then of either closing or not closing the files each time you swap projects. This results in:

Menu Item Text Execute Function
Set as Current Project (ProjOpen(_ProjViewTreeGetStr(201),1))
Set as Current Project - Keep Open (ProjOpen(_ProjViewTreeGetStr(201),0))

Input Parameters

None.
