You can add new files to a project in a number of ways.
Adding a new file to the active project
To add new files to the active project, do one of the following:
- From the Project menu, click Add New File...
—or—
- On the Project Explorer tool bar, click the Add New File button.
—or—
- Type Ctrl+N.
Adding a new file to any project
To add a new file to a project without making it active, do one of the following:
- In the Project Explorer, right click on the project to add a new file to.
- From the popup menu, select Add New File...
When adding a new file, CrossStudio displays the New File dialog from which you can choose the type of file to add, its file name, and where it will be stored. Once created, the new file is added to the folder whose filter matches the extension of the newly added file. If no filter matches the newly added file extension, the new file is placed underneath the project node.
Adding a new file to a specific folder
To add new files directly to a folder bypassing the file filter do the following:
- In the Project Explorer, right click on the folder to add a new file to.
- From the popup menu, select Add New File...
The new file is added to the folder without using any filter matching.
