6 DataWindow .NET
Buttons on the
PowerBar
From left to right on the PowerBar, here are the buttons and what you can do
after you click a button:
Customizing the
PowerBar
You can customize the PowerBar. For example, you can move it to different
locations and add buttons for operations you perform frequently. For more
information, see “Using toolbars” on page 21.
About PowerTips
In the PowerBar, when you leave the mouse pointer over a button for a second
or two, DataWindow Designer displays a brief description of the button, called
a PowerTip. PowerTips display in DataWindow Designer wherever there are
toolbar buttons.
Working with projects
You can create a new project, add existing libraries to a project’s library list,
create a new library, and open a different project to work on objects in a library
in that project. The libraries in your current library list display in the System
Tree. You can open the DataWindow objects in any library on your current list.
