Using Navigation bar and Toolbar


The Navigation bar and Toolbar provide quick access to tools implemented in UDS Type Editor.

 

UDS Type Editor - Using Navigation bar

 

 

The Navigation bar of UDS Type Editor allows you to:

Object group

iconDB select a database

iconObjects_UDSType select a user-defined structured type for editing

 

General group

iconCompile compile the user-defined structured type (if it is being created/modified)

iconRefresh refresh the content of the active tab

iconPrint print metadata of the user-defined structured type

iconRestoreDefaultSize restore the default size and position of the editor window

 

Depending on the current tab selection, the Navigation bar expands to one or more additional panes with tab-specific actions that can be useful for working with the user-defined structured type:

Attributes group

iconObjects_UDSType_AddAttribute add a new attribute

iconObjects_UDSType_EditAttribute edit the selected attribute

iconObjects_UDSType_DropAttribute drop the selected attribute

 

Methods group

iconObjects_UDSType_AddMethod add a new method

iconObjects_UDSType_EditMethod edit the selected method

iconObjects_UDSType_DropMethod delete the selected method

 

Description group

iconSaveToFile save object description to file

iconLoadFromFile load description text from an external *.txt file

iconCopyToClipboard copy description to clipboard

 

DDL group

iconSaveToFile save DDL to file

iconTools_SQLEditor open DDL in SQL Editor

 

 

Items of the Navigation bar are also available on the ToolBar of UDS Type Editor. To enable the toolbar, open the Environment Options dialog, proceed to the Windows section there and select RadioButton Toolbar (if you need the toolbar only) or RadioButton Both (if you need both the toolbar and the Navigation bar) in the Bar style for child forms group.
