The Method Tree


When opening or creating new Non Visual or Server Side applications, the Application Builder switches the display to show the Method Tree, Method Explorer and Source and Definition Windows. These windows give you a complete visual representation of your Java source file.

Tree Functions

By clicking twice on each of these groups or any of the items below a group a popup menu will be displayed. They are multi-level menus that provides a number of options for creating or removing entries as well as other functions depending on which group/item is clicked on.

When you create a new object, it appears in the proper location in the tree. It will move around the tree according to any changes you make to it's properties on the Definition screen. A new object's source skeleton is placed in the source window for you to begin filling in the source there. As soon as you reference another existing object in this class file these references will show up in the Method Explorer.
