8.3.1.4 Project/Component Tree

Project Tree

The Project Tree is used for listing the Projects. On opening the node, the Screens and Files present inside the project are also listed. The Top Frame displays either the Project Tree or Library Tree. This depends on the selection of the tab at the bottom of the Directory Tree, viz Project Tab or Library Tab.

Searching for Project and Screen node

When the user is working with a number of projects and huge no. of screens, it is difficult to find a particular project or screen node in the project tree. If the user knows the name of the project or screen, it can be easily located with the help of the search option.

To search for a particular project or screen, the user has to set the focus on the left-side project tree and type in the first few words of the project or screen name. This selects the node searched by the user.

Component Tree

When the beans are dropped into the screen, they get added to the Components tree present in the bottom left frame. On selecting a particular screen in the project tree, the respective list of components are displayed in the Component tree.

• When the user right clicks on a component in the Component tree with the selection in "Screen" tab, it will bring up the Component Pop up Menu same as that got by right clicking on the component in the Screen.

• When the user clicks on the component in the component's tree with the selection in "Interaction" tab, the connections of that component with different other components are displayed.
