The IDE categorizes all files according to a set of object types. Each object type has properties that determine how the IDE handles the objects in that category.
For example, the IDE groups all files with htm, html, and shtml extensions under the HTML Objects object type. All files of this object type are parsed as HTML files, can be opened in the Source Editor with HTML syntax highlighting, and can be viewed in the internal web browser.
If you want to work with files that have extensions not recognized by any object type, you can configure an object type to recognize that extension.
To add a file extension to an object type:
![]() |
The contextual menus for objects in the Explorer contain commands that are determined by object type. You can set these commands in the Options window. Select the node for an object type, select the Actions property, click the ellipsis (...) button, and edit the list of commands in the property editor. |
