The view menu handles the layout of the screen.
Toolbars
Figure 14.2 Toolbars
Click on one of these items to enable or disable a tool bar. Toolbars are the little bars below the main menu (explained further on in this document). If a tool bar is currently visible, the item of the tool bar is 'checked'
Project manager
When you click this item, the project manager will become visible or not visible, according to the current visibility.
Last compiler output
Will open a screen with the complete compiler output of the last compiled files, as you can see in figure 15.
Figure 15. Last compiler output
As you can see here, this window shows the compiler output for the latest compilation. If the last compilation consisted out of more than one file, you can view the compiler output for every separate file by selecting the tab sheet with the correct filename at the bottom side of this window.
All errors of last compilation
If you compile a single file, this option is not really necessary because you can view all errors in the edit child that contains the errors, but when you've built a project, which can consist out of more than one file, it might come in handy to have an overview of all errors in all files. Figure 16 shows the window I'm referring to.
Figure 16. Complete error list
As you can see here, two files in the last compilation contained errors. Check out the file names (Bntplay.asm and Ml_bntpl.asm). Also You can see that not all of the text per line fits in the window (horizontally). To get a view of the complete line, just let the mouse FLOAT over the line you want to see, and you'll get a pop-up HINT window which will contain the complete line!
Throughout CA3 there are more lists like this one. In all these lists you can pop-up such a HINT window!
List file...
All files compiled by TASM will produce a list file (if enabled in the settings screen). A list file is a file that contains your source and the opcodes related to your source lines.
You can only view the list file of the active edit child. This means the active child has to be a edit child. Also, the active edit child has to be compiled before this options becomes available.
See figure 17.
Figure 17. List output
This is the window you can view the list file of a compiled file. Not much to say about this, just notice the MNEMONICS right and the corresponding OPCODES left.
The first characters of each line are the lines as they are in the source file...
