States window

Applies to:
Tools window

 

Under View -> States you add and manage the States of your application. States define different instances of your application. A BrowserBob application can change the whole user interface including functionality on the fly. Using States, multiple applications can be created in a single one. Additionally you can define a special state for Popup windows.

 

 

Adding new States:

Click the + symbol in the lower right corner in order to add a new state to your application.

 

Deleting States:
Click the - symbol in the lower right corner in order to add a new state to your application.

 

Naming of a State:

In the State Name field, you can give the selected state a speaking name.

 

Switching between states:

Clicking on a state name in the list of states will switch your design area to this state. You may as well switch between existing states via the project explorer window.

 

Important note: clicking on a state name in the list of states, will switch your design area to the selected state. Initially, a new state does look like the Main State, as it is an exact copy of the Main State initially, until you make changes to the selected state.

 

More information on states and their use is available in the states reference.
