deleting include directories

[davehohl]

The Directories tab on Project Properties has a '+' icon to add include directories, but I cannot figure out how to delete include directories. Right-clicking on a directory does not bring up a menu, nor does pressing the delete key when the directory is selected do anything.

Am I missing something obvious?

Selecting the item and pressing the delete key works for me.  You can also "edit" the item and delete it all to nothing.  Are you sure the delete key doesn't work?

I cannot edit or delete the directory for that particular project, even after rebooting my PC. However, I switched to a different project and things worked fine, so something must be corrupted for that one project.

I looked in the .vpj file for the offending directory, but could not find it. It appears that the include file info must be stored somewhere else. If I knew where I might be able to edit the file to fix things.

Can you attach a screen shot to clarify?

Double-clicking on the directory path does not select it for editing, nor does delete key delete it.  It is also strange that there are two instances of "double click here to add another entry".

The directory is coming from your Compiler configuration (so it has to be edited in the Compiler Configuration dialog instead).

I think in v16 and earlier that list didn't show directories implicitly picked up from the compiler configuration.  I don't know if it's an intentional change in v17 or if it's accidental, but I agree it's a little confusing.

And yes, the two instances of "double click here" looks like a bug.  I tried to see an obvious way for the code to get two of them, but I didn't see an obvious way.  And for me there's only one.

I don't understand why the entries have expando/collapso buttons next to them (it seems like a flat list, not a tree).  I think that's a bug as well.

Thanks, chrisant! I was able to change the directory by going to the compiler config as you suggested.  HP++
