NTK Menus

The Project Menu

The Project menu contains NTK's project management tools (see FIGURE A.5). You need to have the project window frontmost to be able to access many of these tools, and you must add the files to your project before you can either build or download the application.

Further, if a file is not added to a project, it will not be part of a build. You can tell which files are part of a project by the list in the project window (see FIGURE A.11 later in this appendix).

Three important items in this menu include Mark as Main Layout, Project Settings, and Export Package to Text. You should only have one file marked as a main layout, and this should be your main application layout. The Project Settings dialog contains three different dialog screens, Project Settings, Output Settings, and Package Settings, which are discussed later (see page 413). Export Package to Text creates a text version of your project (this conversion is one-way; NTK cannot read text versions of a project).
