The following functions are provided for simplifying viewing objects in the tree and Tabular View:
◆ To expand or collapse the hierarchy under a particular object group node in the tree:
Click on the plus sign (+) or minus sign (-) icon next to that node.
◆ To display the objects in an object group listed in the object tree:
Click on the object group. All objects that belong to the selected object group appear in
Tabular View.
◆ To display the objects in an object group listed in Tabular View:
Double-click on the object group. All objects that belong to the object group appear in Tabular
View.
(Double-clicking on an object that does not contain other objects (children) displays the
Properties window for the object instead of its children.)
◆ To sort the objects in Tabular View by a specific property:
Click on the appropriate property column heading. To reverse the sort order, click on the
column heading again.
◆ To resize a grid column:
Place the pointer over the line that divides the column headings, then press and hold the mouse
button to drag the column divider to the desired position.
◆ To resize the left pane (tree) and right pane (Tabular View):
Place the pointer over the vertical splitter, then press and hold the mouse button to drag the
splitter to the desired position.
Selecting Objects
You can select Tabular View objects in most VEA windows using the following procedures:
◆ To select a single object:
Click on the object.
◆ To select multiple objects:
Hold down the Control key while selecting the objects. The objects that you select in this way
do not have to be adjacent.
◆ To select a range of adjacent objects:
Select the first object, then hold down the Shift key while selecting the last object in the range.
You can also select multiple adjacent objects by pressing and holding the mouse button while
dragging the pointer over the desired objects.
