When WizardBar Does Not Track Context

Even when WizardBar is not tracking context, you can use all the navigational and code–creation functionality available from WizardBar. The combo lists remain accessible, as do the Action control and the Action menu.
There are several valid scenarios when WizardBar does not track your location in code.
The current file may not belong to the active project.
If your project contains a sub-project (dependent project), or if you have multiple projects open in the workspace, the file that has focus may not belong to the active project. In this case, you can change the active project.
The current file may not be part of the project.
The file you are viewing may belong to a separate project in the workspace, to another workspace entirely, or be included in the project for building purposes, but not actually belong to the project. For example, selecting Open Include from the WizardBar Action menu provides a list of all header files included in the current file. These header files may or may not belong to the project. Merely opening a file does not add the file to the project.
If you decide to add the file to your project, WizardBar then tracks the members in the file.
The current file may be included in the project, but not written in a programming language.
Non-buildable files such as plain text files, document server objects such as Excel spreadsheets, and so forth fall into this category.
The window you are in might not support tracking.
WizardBar tracking is not supported in product windows other than the Text editor or the Dialog editor. If focus is in a window such as the Output window or ClassView, WizardBar tracking is disabled.
You might have multiple instances of the IDE opened simultaneously, and be viewing the same active project.
In this case, WizardBar and ClassView both are available only in the first instance you open.
