Use this dialog box to create a new project or file based on one of the items displayed in the right-hand pane. The New Items dialog box (also known as the Gallery) displays the project templates that are stored in the RAD Studio Object Repository.

Help for New Items: The lower pane in the New Items dialog box displays customized Help for the selected item.

Filtering the New Items: At the top of the New Items dialog box is a filtered search box (, further described below) that enables you to search for Gallery items by typing in the name or part of the name.

Dialog Box

Item	Description
Item Categories	Click a folder displayed in the left-hand pane to display in the right-hand pane the types of entities that you can create. The items displayed are not always the same. Items that are currently unavailable because they are not supported in the current context are not displayed in the Gallery. If the context changes, new items may appear. For example, the only ActiveX item that is available when you start a project is ActiveX Library, because you must create an ActiveX Library (a DLL project) to host any of the other ActiveX and COM items (such as ActiveX Control, Automation Object, and COM Object). See Using COM Wizards.
Search	Enter a search string: any part of the name of a project type or file type that you want to locate in the Gallery. The New Items dialog box automatically displays only those items that match the string as you type. Click X to clear the search string. Two well-known wild cards are supported in the search: * matches as many characters as possible. ? matches any single character. An inherent * is added to the beginning of each search string that you type, and to the end as well, to allow matching of substrings.
Template Libraries	Opens the Template Libraries dialog where you are allowed to add, edit, and remove template libraries (.bdstemplatelib files).
Sort	Right-click anywhere on the Gallery pane and select the sort style for your Gallery items. Default: sorts the Gallery back to its default order. Name: sorts the Gallery items by name, arranged in alphabetical order. Description: sorts the Gallery items by item´s description, arranged in alphabetical order. Author: sorts the Gallery items by author. Date: sorts the Gallery items by date.
View	Right-click anywhere on the Gallery pane and select the view style for your Gallery items. List: view the Gallery items as a list, where you can see the name, icon, description, and platforms supported by the item. Cards: view the Gallery items like cards, displaying the name, icon, and description. Large Icons: view the Gallery items as large icons, displaying the name and icon. Small Icons: view the Gallery items as small icons, displaying the name and icon
