Arguments: pathname-or-namestring &key action
This function opens a project (identified by the arguments) for further
development in the IDE. The project becomes the current project (as
returned by current-project). This function
returns the project that was opened, unless no project is opened for
some reason (such as failure to specify an existing project definition
file), in which case nil is returned. If the
project is opened successfully, then the function current-project will continue to
return the project until another opened project (or a new project)
takes its place. (Therefore, if this function fails to open a project,
the previously open project remains the current project.)
Projects are typically opened interactively by using the File | Open Project command (which calls this function), but it may be useful to call this function directly (for example) in the startup.cl file, perhaps as part of code that conditionally decides which project to initially open in the IDE. (startup.cl is loaded during IDE startup. See About IDE startup in cgide.htm.)
To simply use an existing project in the IDE without opening it for further development, call load-project instead.
pathname-or-namestring may be either a pathname
or string naming a .lpr project definition file that was automatically
created by saving a project in the IDE. It may alternately be
nil, in
which case the file-selection Common Dialog is invoked to prompt for
the .lpr file to open.
action may be any one of the following values:
nil (the default): the current open-project-action
configuration option is used. (This option is found in the Open group
box on the Project tab of the Options dialog.)
