<h1>Creating your C++ file</h1>
<p>Once you have created a new remote C/C++ project, you can begin coding your program.
The .cpp file that you create will be saved in the project folder you just created in
<a href="creating_a_remote_project.html">Creating a remote project</a>.</p>
<p>Files are edited in the <strong>Remote C/C++ Editor</strong> located to the right of
the <strong>Project Explorer</strong> view. The left margin of the <strong>Remote C/C++ Editor</strong>, called the marker
bar, displays icons for items such as bookmarks, breakpoints, and compiler errors and warnings.</p>
<p>For more information about:</p>
<ul>
<li>The marker bar, see <strong>Workbench User Guide > Reference > User interface
information > Icons and buttons > Editor area marker bar</strong></li>
<li>The editor area, see <strong>Workbench User Guide > Reference > User interface
information > Views and editors > Editor area</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>To create a C++ file:</p>
<ol>
<li>In the <strong>Project Explorer</strong> view, right-click a project, and
select <strong>New > File > Other</strong>.<br>
<img src="../images/create_c_file_01.png"
alt="New > File > Other in Projects View"></li>
<li>Select <strong>Source file</strong> under <strong>C++</strong>.<br>
<img src="../images/create_c_file_02.png"
alt="New Source file in New Wizard Dialog"></li>
<li>In the <strong>Source File</strong> box, type a name followed by the
appropriate extension. Select a template.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Finish</strong>.<br>
<img src="../images/create_c_file_03.png" alt="New Source File Wizard"></li>
<p>The file will open in the Remote C/C++ editor.</p>
<li>Enter your code in the editor view.<br>
<img src="../images/create_c_file_04.png"
alt="Editor view with a sample code"></li>
<li>Type <strong>CTRL+S</strong> to save the file.</li>
</ol>
<p>Your new .cpp file is displayed in the <strong>Project Explorer</strong> view. Before you
can build your newly created project, you must create a makefile.
See <a href="cdt_w_newmake.htm">Creating your makefile</a>.</p>
