Add Unit
Use the Add Unit button to add files to the project. When you click this button, the Add To
Project dialog box is displayed. The Add To Project dialog box has file filters for the following
types of files:
■ C++ source files (.cpp)
■ C source files (.c)
■ Pascal source files (.pas)
■ Library files (.lib)
■ Binary object files (.obj)
■ Resource script files (.rc)

■ Binary resource files (.res)
If you add files of any of these types, C++Builder will know what to do with them. For
example, if you add a C source file (.c), C++Builder will compile it as C rather than C++ (the
differences are subtle, and most of you don’t care about the differences, but to some
programmers it matters). If you add a Pascal file (.pas), the Pascal compiler will compile the
source file before passing it to the linker. If you add a binary object file (.obj), C++Builder
passes it to the linker at link time.

Project Options
View Form
You cannot add a unit to a project if a form with the same name
already exists in the project. For example, if you have a form called
MainForm and try to add a unit from another project that also has a
form named MainForm, you will get an error message from C++Builder
even if the filenames are different.
Adding files to your project of types other than those listed in this
section is not advised. C++Builder will try to compile any unknown file
types, and an error message will result.
