Project Explorer View
The Project Explorer view displays in a tree structure similar to the C/C++ Projects view, but it is not limited to C and C++ projects. In this view you can do the following things:
- Browse the elements of C/C++ source files
- Open files in the editor view
- Manage existing files (copy, paste, delete, refresh)
- Restore deleted files from local history
Files that you selected in the Project Explorer view affect the information which display in other views.
