- OEW V1.3
- =======
-
- Since the printing of the manual some features have been added to OEW V1.3:
-
-
- New features:
- -------------
-
- Quickhelp: Use <alt>+F1 or the Help/Quickhelp menu item to toggle the
- Quickhelp.
-
- F5: this key doesn`t call the quick reference window anymore, but
- displays the Query window (call the quickref with Shift+F5).
- You can use the Query window to quickly acces objectbase elements.
- As windows always appear behind dialogs, the query window might be
- obscured.
-
- In the Query window
- - select the scope of the search,
- ("Definitions" searches all preprocessor definitions)
- - enter a search string,
- (you can use "*" as a wildcard at the end of the string).
- - click the Display Result button. OEW displays all matches on
- the left-hand side of the window.
- - Select one of these results. OEW displays the source code
- that will be generated for this element (you can select this
- text and copy it to the clipboard).
- - Alternatively, you can double-click one of the search
- results to edit this objectbase element.
-
-
- F11: in an editor entry field or an editor window opened with an Editor
- button, this key opens the dialog of the objectbase element under
- the cursor. If there are multiple elements of this name (e.g. a
- class and its constructor), you can select which you want to edit.
-
-
- Non-modal dialogs: many of OEW`s dialogs can be left open while editing
- another element.
-
-
- Parser: OEW can recognize #include blockers:
- - in header files:
- #ifndef INCLUDE_BLOCKER
- #define INCLUDE_BLOCKER
- <header file>
- #endif
- OEW enters these #include blockers into the module
- definition.
-
- - in include statements
- #ifndef INCLUDE_BLOCKER
- #include include_filename
- #endif
-
- if there is no module in the objectbase with the filename
- include_filename and the #include blocker INCLUDE_BLOCKER,
- OEW cannot recognize the statements. You either have to
- activate "Import all" or "Execute #includes" in the import
- dialog, or pre-define modules with the appropriate #include
- blockers before parsing.
-
- When parsing, OEW does not enter the #include blockers into
- a module as it generates them automatically.
-
-
- Known manual errata:
- --------------------
-
- You cannot paste global datatypes and classes from the clipboard into a
- class.
-
