Tools can be invoked from various places within CodeGuide. Their output will be displayed in integrated consoles. This way tools are tightly integrated in the IDE.
To invoke a tool open the context menu for a file or directory in the project or file browser. The last entries in this menu are the tools which are available for this file or directory.
You can also press the tool button in the button bar of the browser. A Popup menu will appear showing the available tools.
There are also some tools which do not need a file or directory. These tools can be found in the Tools menu.
Some tools produce output as they are running. For these tools a console will show up in the tools browser displaying the output. You can also use this console to pass input to the tool.
While the tool is running it can be stopped by pressing the Stop button in the button bar of the console. When the tool has stopped there is a Close button to close the console.
