Open and Close Browse Files

  • Article

|  Overview/Tasks

When you open a project workspace, the project browse file is opened automatically.

If you want to browse information on a symbol in another project, you must open the browse file for that project.

To open a browse file for another project

  1. On the File menu, click Open.

  2. In the Files of type list box, click Browse Info Files (*.bsc).

  3. Select the drive, directory, and browse file that you want.

  4. Click the Open button.

Note   Some browser queries may open source files. The current browse file determines which project the browser can open source files from.

To close a browse file

  • On the Tools menu, click Close Source Browser File filename.bsc.

Tip   When you use a browse information file, the .BSC file stays open for the duration of the session unless you close it. If you run NMAKE outside of the development environment, you should close the .BSC file to allow updating. If the .BSC file remains open, it cannot be updated.
