CHAPTER 2 Working with Libraries
DataWindow Designer User’s Guide 41
❖ To copy or move objects using drag and drop:
1 In the Tree view or the List view, select the objects you want to copy or
move.
2 Press Shift to move the entries.
Otherwise, the objects will be copied.
3 Drag the objects to a library in either view (or if the contents of a library
are displayed in the List view, you can drop the objects there).
If copying, DataWindow Designer replicates the objects. If moving,
DataWindow Designer moves the objects and deletes them from the
source library. If an object with the same name already exists,
DataWindow Designer prompts you and, if you allow it, replaces the
existing object with the copied or moved object.
❖ To copy or move objects using a button or menu item:
1 Select the objects you want to copy or move to another library.
2 Click the Copy button or the Move button on the Painterbar, or select
Entry>Copy or Entry>Move from the menu bar.
The Select Library dialog box displays.
3 Select the library to which you want to copy or move the objects and Click
OK.
❖ To delete objects:
1 Select the objects you want to delete.
2 Click the Delete button, or select Entry>Delete from the menu bar.
You are prompted to confirm the first deletion.
Being asked for confirmation
By default, DataWindow Designer asks you to confirm each deletion. If
you do not want to have to confirm deletions, select Design>Options to
open the Options dialog box for the Library painter and clear the Confirm
on Delete check box in the General tab page.
DataWindow Designer records this preference as the DeletePrompt
variable in the Library section of the DW.INI file.
3 Click Yes to delete the entry or Yes To All to delete all entries. Click No
to skip the current entry and go on to the next selected entry.
