Properties Window

The Properties Window box contains information about the node selected in the Project Explorer. It also allows you to modify this information. The information available in the Properties Window depends on the view selected in the Project Explorer:

Project Browser
Asset Browser

When relevant, the properties can use environment variables.

Project Browser

Depending on the node selected, any of the following relevant information may be displayed:

Name: Is the name carried by the node in the Project Explorer.
Exclude from Build: Excludes the node from the Build process. When this option is selected a cross is displayed next to the node in the Project Explorer.
Execute in background: Enables the build and execution of more than one test or application node at the same time.
Relative path: Indicates the relative path of the file.
Full path: Indicates the entire path of the file.
Instrumented: Indicates whether the source file is instrumented or not. You can select either Yes or No.

Note The Instrumented property is ignored for Component Testing for C++ if the .otd test script contains a CHECK METHOD statement or if an .otc contract check script is used. In these cases, the source files are always instrumented.

Asset Browser

Select the type of Object View in the Sort Method box at the top of the Project Explorer window: By Object, By Files, or By Packages. Depending on the sort method selected, and the type of object or file, any of the following relevant information may be displayed:

Filters (for folders): is the file extension filter for files in that folder. See Creating a Source File Folder.
