Change the default code on new project (cpp file)? Topic is solved

[PureForceX]

Hello wx community!

I'm a new user of wxDev-C++ and enrolled in a beginners' programming course.
All our assignments (console applications) are required to have a specific comment section at the top of our source code.
I would like this information automatically entered each time I start a new project, rather than the "copy, paste" method.

How and where can I change this default code using the wxDev-C++ UI?
Thanks in advance for your help

I would like to add:

Code: Select all

//my name
//course title, instructor name
//assignment name
//date
//program file name
//program details

...to the top of (before) the current default code:

Code: Select all

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    cout << "Press the enter key to continue ...";
    cin.get();
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

NOTE: This only works if you have administrative privileges.

1. Locate default text file C:\Program Files (x86)\Dev-Cpp\Template\ConsoleApp_cpp.txt
2. Change user permissions to full control.
3. Save a backup copy of the original in a safe place.
4. Open the file, edit & save changes, restore default file permissions.
5. Verify changes made: Open a new console application project, you should see the new default code now.
