From UI editor to UI browser

Status: New

(Coming from this forum discussion)

 

If you double click on a UI browser element you'll go to the corresponding panel or control in the editor. That's good! Smiley Happy

There doesn't seem to be a way to go the opposite direction (i.e. from a control in the user interface editor to the corresponding item in the user interface browser tree) Smiley Sad : this could be useful in case of complex UIR files with several panels and controls, especially if you have more than one control array in it.

 

So I suggest to add two options to the control context menu to locate the control in the UI browser ad to locate in a control aray if it is included in any of them.

I'm thinking to something like that:

It would be handy if these new items could be assigned a shortcut key too: ctrl+U and ctrl+R could be a good choice (presently ctrl+U is not used in the UIR editor and ctrl+R is not active at design time)



Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.
