Check the list below to find helpful tips for Studio
Version 2.0.16
STUDIO TIPS: Why does my outline view show no entries? In order to show entries in the outline view for an NXML page, the visual editor must be open to that page. Then the outline will be populated with the NXML hierarchy. Why does my properties view show no entries? In order to show entries in the properties view for an NXML element, the visual editor must be open to the page that element is on. Then the element must be selected. Then the properties can be modified. I closed the outline. How do I get it back? Views in Eclipse can be opened by selecting Window - Show View. Then select the outline view from the list, or choose other. I closed the properties view. How do I get it back? Views in Eclipse can be opened by selecting Window - Show View. Then select the properties view from the list or choose other. Also, the properties view can be retrieved by right clicking on an element in the visual editor or outline view and choosing Properties. I have two components, and one is covering the other. How do I get one component to be underneath another? Components are drawn in the order they are defined in the NXML file. Components defined first are drawn on top of components defined later. By moving components in the outline view, components can be layered on top of one another. To move a component to the top, select the component and choose Visual Tools - Move Up. To move a component down, choose Visual Tools - Move Down. There are also toolbar buttons for these two commands. I have two XUpdate append statements in one file. I can see one in the visual editor. Where is the other one? The XUpdate statement that is displayed in the visual editor can be selected by the developer. Highlight the statement that should be viewed, then click the "Visual Tools - Display XUpdate Statement" menu item or the corresponding toolbar button. See the Studio Guide for an example and more information. Is there an easy way to do two things during one event? For example, change the text in a text box and make a call to a MCO? Yes, for example use a <macro> with an XUpdate <set-attribute> tag to change the text in the textbox and an &l;execute> tag to execute the MCO method. Somehow, all of the palettes show small icons with no description. How do I make the names of the components show up again? Right clicking on the palette and selecting an option from the layout menu will change the format of the components. More about customizing the components and the settings of the palette is written in the Studio Guide. I want to give an attribute to lots of components. Can I do all of them at the same time? There are two ways to accomplish this. The first way is to select multiple components in the visual editor or outline view. This is possible by holding control while clicking on each object. Then, attributes can be changed either by using the Formatting menu, or by changing the attributes in the properties view. The second way is by using stylesheets. Nexaweb stylesheets describe different styles that can be applied to components in a Nexaweb application. Since multiple components can use the same style, an attribute can be changed in the stylesheet, and the change will be affected on every component that uses the style. More information about stylesheets can be found in the Nexaweb Studio Guide. I want to change the loading screen that is displayed when my application is loading. How can I do that? In the Nexaweb Client Configuration page, the image, background color, animation color, title, and display name can be changed. The page is accessed by right clicking on a Nexaweb project, choosing Nexaweb Application Overview, and selecting Client Configuration.
