Attributes and Elements

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.

Attributes

None.

Child Elements

None.

Parent Elements

Element	Description
TemplateData	Required element. Categorizes the template and defines how it displays in either the New Project or the Add New Item dialog box.

Text Value

A text value is required.

The text must be either true or false, indicating whether or not to display the Browse button on the New Project dialog box.

Remarks

EnableLocationBrowseButton is an optional element. The default value is true, which displays the Browse button 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. The Browse button helps you modify this directory by displaying the Project Location dialog box, which enables you to easily navigate to a different directory that is available from your computer, and then choose it as the directory where the new project is saved. For more information, see New Project Dialog Box.
