Description

The Library painter has views for displaying libraries (PBLs) and objects.

These views are available in the View menu:

Tree
List

Usage

The Library painter behaves somewhat like Windows Explorer. You can drag and drop objects to move them from one library to another, resize columns in the List view, and sort the columns by clicking a column header.

These are some of the things you can do in the Library painter:

To do this

Do this

Filter the display in either view so you can display libraries, folders, or both

Select Library or Folder or both from the popup menu. For example, you may want to display only folders in the Tree view and display only libraries in the List view

Specify what objects display when you expand a library

Select Design>Options>Include tab page and select or clear entry types. You can override these choices in either view by using a library popup menu and selecting or clearing items on the list of objects

Copy an object to another library

Drag the object from the original library to the new library

Set the root object in the Tree view or the List view

Use the popup menu or select View>Set Root

Create a library

Select Library>Create and name the library

Move back and forward in the Tree view or the List view

Use the popup menu or select View>Back or View>Forward

Change columns displayed in the List view

Use the popup menu or select Design>Options>General tab page and change the column selections

Delete, optimize, print the directory, import, or build a runtime library

Select the appropriate menu item from a library's popup menu

Edit, copy, move, delete, regenerate, print items associated with an object, or export an object's source code

Select the appropriate menu item from an object's popup menu
