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.

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.

Every windows screen in our WPF application displays the ICON in the upper left corner. Numerous users of this program have the expectation of seeing their company logo.
We made the logo.ico file a "always copy" so that it is copied into the bin location along with every build. ICON is referring to the logo.ico file in this case.
The logo.ico file's icon will be reflected on the Windows screen if we go ahead and replace it with any other image.
We cannot expect the customers to accomplish this, so we must make it easier for them to browse the icon file during installation. InstalledShield software is used to prepare the installation setup. If there is a better way, please describe it here. I seek advice on how to accomplish this.
I would like you to check why the icon is getting reflected if you replace it with any other image, windows has some specification on the image size to display the icon/tile on the screen. See whether your icon is meeting all those specification to reflect it on the screen.

you can also find information regarding the icon specification from the Microsoft documentation pages.
Apart from that, if you want to show up a browse dialog during the installation then you need to modify your InstallShield project:
1- To launch a browse dialog from the Basic MSI project:
https://docs.revenera.com/installshield23helplib/helplibrary/FileOpenDialog-HowTo.htm
2- To launch a browse dialog from an InstallScript project:
https://community.flexera.com/t5/InstallShield-Knowledge-Base/Displaying-a-File-Browse-Dialog-in-an-InstallScript-Project/ta-p/3964
But, my preference to you to check why the icon is getting reflected if its replaced with other image, and fix it.
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 recently switched to Wing Pro from Visual Studio. Today my Wing IDE opened without the project explorer pane on the right side showing -- it's called project explorer in Visual Studio, I think it's called the same in Wing. It's the listing of all project files.
I have looked all over the documentation and options but I haven't found where to make it show again.
Thanks for any help.
If no tools at all are showing, you have have pressed Shift-F2 (Maximize Editort Area) and can press that again to re-show them. Or, just choose Project from the Tools menu and it should show the tool regardless of what display mode you're in.
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 am creating a windows form application in managed C++. To add a custom user control either one can create a new project or add CLR User control to same project. When I add a user control to same project it builds and shows control in toolbar. When I drag and drop it onto my main UI it throws up error.
"Failed to load toolbox item, It will be removed from Toolbox".
There is no error if I create a separate project under same solution and compile control as a DLL. Is there a way I can add a custom user control to same project and use it.
Also I looked up similar question on the topc but none of them has helped me. I have checked the files and I am building the project as Win32 and there is no way control being separately built as x64.
Had same problem after one or both of renaming project or/and changing platform, most posted "solutions" provided to other people asking the same question didn't seem to work.
What did work for me was to go into the project folder and delete the obj folder, and just to be safe the bin folder too, then build again. (Seems the so called Build->Clean menu item only does half of the required work.)
