IDE Window Caption

The caption of the main form provides information about the current project, current unit and status. The caption is updated dynamically, based on what is active in the editor:

  • If no file is open, the caption is: Embarcadero RadPHP - [none]
  • If a file is open, the caption is: Embarcadero RadPHP - <path to the file>
  • If a project is open, the file name of the project, with no extension, is prepended to the previous rules, for example: Project1 - Embarcadero RadPHP - unit1.php

In Debug mode, the tags [Running] and [Stopped] are added to the caption depending on the following rules:

  • If you press any run action, the [Running] tag is added and is removed when execution is stopped (remember PHP executes from bottom to end, no execution loop like in Windows applications)
  • If the program is stopped at any point, the tag [Stopped] is added

IDE Menu

The menu bar provides access to many of the functions of the product and uses menu categories consistent with other Embarcadero IDEs including File, Edit, Search, View, Run, Component, Tools, Help.
