Miscellaneous

• Ask for the location of the new elements in the project If this option is selected, when a new element is saved in the project, the location of this element is systematically requested.
• Generate all the configurations in the "Exe" directory (not recommended if several configurations) If this option is selected, all configurations will be generated in the same directory. If this option is not selected, each project configuration will be generated in a subdirectory of the project's 'Exe' directory. This generation subdirectory will have the same name as the project configuration subdirectory.
• Include the new elements only in the current configuration If this option is selected, by default all new project elements will be automatically included. only in the current project configuration in the editor.
• Group all Private Store applications into one application (compatibility) This option is used to specify whether the server hosting the installation of the application for the Private Store will be configured by project configuration. If this option is checked, the server settings will be the same for all project configurations. If this option is unchecked (default), the Private Store settings can be different for each project configuration.
• Save elements format Binary or text format can be selected. Text format is required to share files via Git. For more details, see Share your projects via Git.
• SaaS Exclusivity
  Enable WINDEV Suite SaaS features in the project This option enables you to use the new features specific to WINDEV Suite SaaS, which will become available with each update. This option works in the same way as the SaaS switch in the project dashboard. For more details, see Using new features exclusive to WINDEV Suite SaaS 2025.

Development in strict mode

Code style

The following options are available:

• The "Automatically prefix the variables and the elements found in the project" option activates the programming guidelines.
  A code style is used to automatically prefix the name of all the variables and project elements (windows, report controls, classes, etc.). This automatic prefixing allows you to easily identify and/or find an element of a given type.
  To implement the programming guidelines in the projectsimply select the option "Automatically prefix the variables and the elements found in the project". You can:
  • choose the desired code style.
    The "Create a code style" and "Edit code style" buttons allow you to create and customize your own code style.
  • automatically add (or not) the prefixes ("Add prefixes automatically" option).
  • generate a UI error if an invalid prefix is used ("Throw a UI compilation error if a control has the wrong prefix").
  For more details, see Code style.
• The "Block delimiters (assisted input)" option is used to select the code block delimiter proposed during assisted code block entry (e.g. conditional statement):
  • END (default). Example:
    
    IF Condition THEN
    
    END
  • braces { }. Example:
    
    IF Condition THEN
    {
    
    }
• The "Automatic comment format" option is used to select the format used for automatic generation of procedure comments. Two formats are available:
  • historical format.
  • Doxygen format.
