6.4 Controlling execution

The Application menu, shared by the debugger, editor, and project windows, contains a set of commands for controlling the execution of an application or DLL. Some toolbar buttons provide shortcuts to these commands.

In a project window, the commands on the Application menu act upon the executable application (.EXE file) or DLL that was last built for that project. The command selects the application or DLL depending on the target file type setting on the Project > Settings dialog's Link page.

In a debugger window, the commands act upon the application that created the thread being debugged. In an editor window, the commands act upon the application of the active project. (Note that the Application menu is not available in the editor if the source file being edited is not part of the active project--the project whose name is visible in the main window's drop-down list. See "The active project" on page 119 for more details.)
