A Single Graphical User Interface

The TASKING EDE is more than just a language sensitive editor. It is a complete project management environment that gives you direct access to the tools and features you need to be your most productive.

• Accessible push-button control over a variety of development tasks spread across many tools
• Tight integration of tools enabling a rapid edit-compile-debug process that leads to higher productivity by automating repetitive tasks
• Graphical tool option selection, automated MAKE facility and online user manuals

The EDE lets you define the files in your project and, by navigating through the tabs, select the TASKING tool options that apply. The EDE project manager gives you an interface from which you can easily create and maintain a project so that your application is always up-to-date. All aspects of a project are saved in the project file - the source files that make up the application; the tool options (compiler, assembler, linker/locator and CrossView Pro debugger); the tool directories; and the options describing the building process. The project manager handles file dependencies as well as the exact sequence of operations required to build your application. The EDE understands the error messages generated by the compiler and assembler and shows you where the errors are so they can be corrected rapidly.

The superbly crafted TASKING EDE is packed full of highly productive features to assist you in realizing the full potential of your application.

Fully customizable graphical working environment

The TASKING EDE takes the ease of use of the development environment to new heights by allowing you to fully customize the design environment to suit the way you work. Build the menus you want, add the features you need, and set up your own shortcuts and toolbars. The entire development environment can be easily and instantly customized to suit your design requirements.

Simplified management of complex development

When working on a complex development, the requirement for coordinating many different projects means time spent keeping track of them all. The TASKING EDE Project Spaces feature helps minimize the time needed for this task. You have direct access to any project file, at any time, wherever it is located! Project Spaces also allows multiple projects to be grouped in one view, allowing easy project management for more complex developments.

Quicker coding with CodeSense

CodeSense advanced coding assistance offers rich type-ahead features that help you to select the next expected function parameter or available structure members. When positioning your mouse pointer over a function name, the function prototype will be displayed. This makes it almost impossible to inadvertently use the wrong function parameters or structure members and saves you debug time and time spent trawling through reference manuals.

Easy navigation of variables and functions

Use the Tag Browsing feature to get the big picture on all your variables and functions. You are presented with a graphical overview of all relevant cross-references for an application, making it easy to navigate through all of the available variables and functions. With quicker access to available functions and objects and their parameters/members, you maximize your coding efficiency and increase your productivity.

Ensure efficient, consistent code with CodeFolio

CodeFolio adds efficiency and consistency to your coding with automatic insertion of macros and template code. CodeFolio expands macros and prompts you for input as you insert the code. The resulting increased readability helps prevent errors and makes identification of syntax problems much easier.
