- Editor view - one or more source code editor windows
- Outline view - displays an outline of a structured C/C++ file that is currently open in the editor view
- Problems view - displays build errors
- Console view - shows the output of a process and allows you to provide keyboard input to a process
- Properties view - displays property names and basic properties of a selected resource
- Tasks view - displays tasks that you manually add
- Include Browser view - visualizes the include relations among files
- Call Hierarchy view - explore call-graphs by means of a tree
- Type Hierarchy view - presents inheritance relations and members of type
- Executables view - provides a dynamic list of executables and their related source files
