TemplateData

Text Value

The value of this element must be either true or false to indicate whether the user can edit the value in the Location box in the New Project dialog box.

Remarks

The EnableEditOfLocationField element is optional. By default, its value is true, which allows the user to edit the value in the Location box in the New Project dialog box.

In the New Project dialog box, the Location text box specifies the directory where a new project is saved. For more information, see New Project Dialog Box.
