I have IAR Embedded Workbench - ARM 8.20.2 in a production environment and it looks like someone hit something causing the menu bar to be hidden. There are no obvious hamburger menus, dropdowns, etc that I can click on to easily get it back, just a blank barren menu area without a contextual (right click) menu. just above the usual IAR tool bar. I would normally look at the IAR key bindings to figure this out, but.. there's no menu and can't find a shortcut for that. I've spent awhile now googling this without any luck. Does anyone out there know if there is a shortcut for toggling the menu bar?
Thanks,
Matt
I was able to resolve this issue by deleting the PROJECT_NAME.wsdt file from the settings folder in the projects. Thank you to both #user694733 and #Clifford for their help with this.
I found that the menu bar missing applied to all projects in a workspace. To fix it, exited IAR workbench, and deleted the .wsdt file in the workspace folder. Then restarted IARWorkbench and loaded the workspace file. I found that the workspace was reset for all projects in that workspace, and the menu bar was present as expected. Problem solved. Thanks for the previous post about the .wsdt file.
The file Project.wsdt resides in a directory called "settings".
If deleting only the file doesn't help, close the software, delete the entire directory (or rename it, to be on the safe side), and then open the project again.

I'm using Windows 11 and as you may know, it has different context menu when you right click in file explorer. If you want to access full list of options, you have to click "Show more options", and then if you want to open a particular file or folder with VS Code, you have to look for that option in that extended context menu. But as you might have already guessed it, it's tedious and I would like to do that 2 step process with one keyboard shortcut like Ctrl+b. Like, when I press Ctrl+b, it should open the folder I'm in at the moment with VS Code, or, if I highlight a file or folder with mouse click, it should open that file or folder after pressing Ctrl+b. I don't even know if it's possible. I googled it and some guy did it with "Auto hot key" app, but the same didn't work for me. And also, it was a bit buggy and it was closing some open windows. So, if anyone knows a solution, I would be glad to hear.
I have been working for a few weeks now using straight gcc terminal compiling instead of an IDE. Why? No clue actually, just felt like it. I want to be able to set an icon for the compiled application though and i can't find anything on the subject except for windows based tutorials using the .rc files and winres. Is there any way to achieve this using terminal commands? If so, how would I go about doing it.
Thanks in advance
Edit: Ok, so I guess I didn't explain this very well in hindsight. I want to be able to compile a gcc application on ubuntu but I want it to have an icon on the final product. I want something other then the default icon that shows up. How might I go about doing this?
When using the command line to create an application on Windows you end up with something like filename.exe It sounds like what you want is an icon on the desktop that you can double click to run the program. To do this, right click your mouse on a location on your desktop that is just part of the background, select new then shortcut and fill in the blanks. Then right click on the new icon created for you, then click on properties then on the properties window click on change icon and fill in the blanks. The file type of the icon must be ico such as myicon.ico.
I am evaluating the use of TI Code Composer to support a C program for the TI MSP430 micro-controller.
I can't, however, figure out how to open the project file that I have been working on, with great success, for the last week.
There seems to be no menu item to open an existing project. Likewise, there seems to be no list of recent projects to choose from. The menu option "Switch Workplace" gives me some choices, but all I end up with is an empty project. TI's documentation on "Workplace" is not clear to me and the ability to simply open an existing project file seems most cryptic to me.
How I can I open a project and get back to work?
What is the difference between a ccsproject, a cproject, and a project file in Code Composer?
Thanks!
Texas Instruments (TI) answered this question for me.
To open and close existing Code Composer Studio (CCS) projects, you must right click the mouse in the Project Explorer window. The right click brings up a menu which includes "Open Project" and "Close Project" menu items when a project is selected. Other useful menu items are also listed upon a right mouse click.
A bit of an update on 10-17-2019
I am a newbie at using CodeComposer 9.1
Right click In the Project Explorer window.
Click on Import, then CCS Projects.
You will get a pop up window import CCS Projects
Enter the root directory for all of you projects (my case C:\Users\DO29629\workspace_v9).
You will get a list of discovered projects. Check the one you want.
The proper way to close a project is to right click on the Project Explorer and select Close. You can also right click the tab for the project and select close.
Hi does anyone know where I can get the comments button used in WP7 from? (the one you see in pictures hub and peoples "What's New" pages)
I've seen it used in 4th & Mayor and Rowi so wondered if this was a system resource or something
Thanks
I think that button is a custom control, not something available out of the box. Having said that, it should be quite easy to recreate. It looks liks it's simply a button with a small path for the little extension at the bottom. The standard icons available can be found in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Icons
(assuming default installation directory)
Normally when we add new rows to a .resx file, say Resources.resx, in the IDE's resource editor, the code-behind file, say Resources.Designer.cs, will be automatically updated - adding new properties for the new rows.
But in my situation, that automation has stopped working. Have you met the same problem? If you do, please help me to get .resx back to work :)
Thank you!
A very similar problem arises with aspx/ascx files. This involved deleting the designer and then clicking "convert to web application" to force code gen of the designer again. Don't know if a similar facility exists for the resx.
Here what I found that works:
Delete the Resources.Designer.cs file
In Solution Explorer, exclude the Resources.resx
Then, show all files, re-include the Resources.resx.
The Resources.Designer.cs file should be recreated then.
Reset the 'Access Modifier' to be 'Public' (see details here)
Right click Resources.resx in Solution Explorer and click Run custom tool
Hope this would be helpful to you!
