I have created a project and none of the options on my screen seem to do anything. All im trying to do is compile a simple code on STM32CubeIDE and flash a board using the STM32CubePRG software.

Please give a detailed description of how you did that - did you follow the workflow mentioned by ​@mƎALLEm ?

What versions of the tools are you using, and on what platform ?

Note that you can do the programming from within CubeIDE - should don’t need to use the separate CubeProtgrammer app.

Do Window→ Perspective->Open...→ C++.

If the projects pane and the editor pane won’t show up,  Window→ Perspective->Reset perspective should help.

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.
