2. What’s an IDE? What does it Do? IDE stands for “Integrated Development Environment”
It allows you to create and edit a program package
It allows you to build and compile the package
It allows you to “debug” the package
It tells you how badly you messed up!
3. Visual C++ IDE Components (1) Workspace – this is the main work area where you type in most of your program
Windows – show the various aspects of the project. You can move or delete windows as you like by using the sizing buttons on the Window title bar. You can also hide a window or windows, or you can group windows together.
4. Visual C++ IDE Components (2)
Toolbars – contain short-cut buttons to common operations that could be selected from the menus (there are LOTS of them). You can add toolbars from the “View” option on the Menu Bar
Menus – Are always available and provide all of the actions you can do in the IDE. If you close a window – you can reopen it using the “View” option

6. Workspace The workspace is the largest of the windows. This is where the code is typed in.
7. Toolbars There are a “bucket full” of toolbars. These are collections of short-cut buttons for operations that can be selected from the menus on the Menu Bar.
8. Menus Each item on the “menu bar” is connected to a “pull-down” menu. The pull-down menu has two types of options:
Gray options – are options that are a part of the menu but are NOT available for this operation and are not active.
Black options – are options that ARE available and are active.
