A toolbar is displayed for all browse windows in the JADE development environment. The JADE Painter also contains toolbars, with buttons that provide painter functions. (For details, see "Painter Toolbars", in Chapter 5.)
Use Browser toolbar buttons to:
Quickly access commonly used functions
Perform general administrative functions
Navigate around the JADE development environment
An example of the JADE development environment Browser toolbar is shown in the following diagram.
To use a toolbar button
Click the appropriate button
Toolbar buttons that are not available for selection are disabled (dimmed). For example, if you select a class in the Class Browser window, the Save toolbar button is disabled and cannot be selected.
The toolbar is displayed by default. To hide the toolbar display, uncheck the Show Tool Bar check box in the Window sheet of the Preferences dialog, accessed from the Preferences command in the Options menu of browser windows.
You can reposition the toolbar vertically or horizontally, by clicking on the grip bar and dragging the toolbar to the required position on the background form or causing it to float in an independent window.
The functions of Browser toolbar buttons are listed in the following table.
