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. The Actions menu is dynamic and changes its options
based on the type of object that is selected. When an object is selected, the Actions menu
provides access to tasks appropriate for the selected object.
◆ Window
The Window menu gives you access to the Tear off feature. This allows you to copy views
displayed by the VEA Client into new windows. You can then view details of several different
object types at the same time, and to correlate relationships between them.
