The default procedure for running an application from an IDE is to use the IDE's Run command once a WINSCW build of the application in question has been created (for example, by selecting Run in Carbide.c++). In this case the emulator starts, but the application is not run in the emulator and you need to open the application manually from the emulator's menu. This allows you to re-compile and re-run the application without restarting the emulator, which saves time. Just exit from your application, re-compile, and manually re-run the application from the emulator's menu.
There is also the possibility to run the .exe file
of an application directly from the IDE. In this case the application in question
is opened automatically in the emulator. However, when you exit the application,
the emulator shuts down as well, and restarts when you launch your application.
For more information on running .exe files directly
from an IDE, please refer to the instructions provided in the IDEs themselves.
