Importing Header Files

Not only can you add new header files to Flare, but you can also import existing header files (e.g., files with .h or .hh extensions).

How to import a header file

1. Do one of the following:

   • In the Project Organizer, right-click on the Advanced folder and select Add Header File.

     OR

   • Select Project>Advanced>Add Header File.

   The Add Header File dialog opens.

2. Next to the Source File field, click .
3. Find and select the header file that you want to import.

4. Click Open.

   The Source File field now contains the path to the file that you are importing. Also, the name of the file is displayed in the File Name field.

5. If you want to give the header file a different name than that for the imported file, click in the File name field and replace the text.

6. Click Add.

   The header file is added.

Note: In addition to importing single files from another location (which this topic discusses), you can import linked files from a Flare source project using a featured called "Global Project Linking." This is different than a simple import process, because in this case, the imported files remain linked to the source project. This allows you to make future updates to those files in just one place—in the source project file. When you perform ongoing imports using your previous settings, Flare recognizes changes to the source files. Therefore, the new files can be brought over, replacing the outdated files. See Global Project Linking—Importing Files from Other Projects.
