The Octopod introduces a new feature called CodeToolbox which enables developers to drag and drop snippets of code from the software's toolbox into the code editor. This simple process emulates the visual way of creating user interfaces, and the snippet is automatically written into the source code. Moreover, the code editor is designed with syntax highlighting, function listing, online help, and intelligent help sensing.
The application features four major compilers: MSVC, CYGNUS' CYGWIN, MINGW GCC, and BORLAND. Each compiler has an easy-to-use project property dialog that allows users to customize individual compiler and linker settings.
