Overriding the choices
you made for a
specific view
In either the Tree view or the List view, you can override your choice of objects
that display in all libraries by selecting a library, displaying the library’s pop-up
menu, and then clearing or selecting items on the list of objects.
Filtering the display of libraries and folders
In either the Tree view or the List view, you can control what displays when
you expand a drive or folder, An expanded drive or folder can display only
libraries, only folders, or both.
❖ To control the display of libraries and folders:
• In either view, select a drive or folder and then select or clear Libraries
and/or Folders from the pop-up menu.
Opening and previewing objects
You can open and preview objects in the current project.
❖ To open an object:
• In either the Tree view or the List view, double-click the object, or select
Edit from the object’s pop-up menu.
DataWindow Designer takes you to the painter for that object and opens
the object. You can work on the object and save it as you work. When you
close it, you return to the Library painter.
You can preview DataWindow objects from the Library painter.
❖ To preview an object in the Library painter:
• Select Run/Preview from the object’s pop-up menu.
Copying, moving, and deleting objects
As your needs change, you may want to rearrange the objects in libraries. To
do that, you need to be able to copy and move objects between libraries or
delete objects that you no longer need.
