Next, click on the Create button in the Project Manager dialog and select Using Templates from the context menu.

Define your Repository

Select a compiler from the Compilers pane [1] in the New Project dialog. (Please note: You must have the compiler you select here installed on your system in order to invoke it from within UEStudio). Then select the type of application you want to create from the Templates pane [2]. Once you’ve selected the application template, type a name for your project in the Project Name text field [3] and specify the Location [4] or path where you want this project created, and click the Create button [5].

Define your Repository

Once you press the Create button, UEStudio will launch the Windows Application Wizard dialog where you can specify the general framework of the application you wish to create. Please note: The example below was created with the Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler and the Windows Application template. The options presented in the Application Wizard will be compiler and template specific.

Select the desired options and press the Create button to finish creating your first project and application!

Please note: Once you’ve reached this point the menus and toolbar buttons (if included in the application you’ve created and built) are not actually functional. The framework has been created, but functionality has to be programmed additionally. Double-clicking on the associated source file in the Workspace Manager will open the source file in UEStudio so that further functionality may be added.
