Main window
■ Logs
■ Control Panel
Object tree and grid
The VEA main window is divided into two main panes:
■ Left Pane (Object Tree)
■ Right Pane (Grid)
Object Tree
Any host machines connected to the current VEA client session typically appear
as nodes in the object tree..
Grid
The right pane contains a grid, which is a tabular display of objects and their
properties. The grid displays objects that belong to the group icon that is
currently selected in the object tree (left pane).
The splitter is the vertical bar that separates the object tree from the grid. You
can resize the left and right panes by pressing and holding the mouse button
over the splitter and dragging the splitter to the left or right.
Menu bar
The menu bar at the top of the main window contains the following menus:
■ File
The File menu establishes new host connections, disconnects current host
sessions, provides access to an object Properties window, handles page
setup, executes print and print preview functions, or exits VEA.
■ Tools
The Tools menu allows you to:
■ Initiate the setting Preferences dialog
■ Manage User Profiles
■ Maintain the VEA Error Console
■ Actions
The Actions menu is a context-sensitive menu that launches tasks on a
selected object. It is inactive until you connect to a host. When an object is
selected, the Actions menu provides access to tasks appropriate for the
selected object.
