close-current-project

Arguments: nil

This function closes the project that is currently being edited in the IDE. This project is the value returned by the function current-project, and was opened by either the File | Open Project command or the File | New Project command, or by calling open-project directly.

Closing the current project causes its forms and their running windows (if any) to be closed. If the project's .lpr project definition file is being edited in the IDE editor, this editor pane is closed as well. There will then no longer be a current project until another one is opened or created.

If you are no longer using the current project, then closing it may result in some IDE dialogs behaving more conveniently, such as not asking whether to add a new editor file to the current project, or not defaulting the file selection dialog to the project's directory. The Project Manager dialog's toolbar contains a button with a red X that calls close-current-project.

It is not necessary to explicitly close the current project before opening or creating another one, because the File | Open Project command and the File | New Project command automatically call it to clear the previous project out of the way.
