The File Tree
This tree shows all top-level directories of your current workspace.
It is rarely useful to search for classes manually.
Use the Index Viewer to locate a class, or choose "Browse in FileTree" from a PopupMenu in the editor or
the ClassTree .
The file types visible in the File Tree are specified in
Global Properties (StringList.Filetypes).
Using the PopupMenu, the file tree is a good starting point for various operations:
- creating new classes, forms, folders, and files.
- making a savepoint (retrospectively)
- compiling whole directories explicitly
- opening forms in the GUI builder (use the PopupMenu, double click
will open the GUI resource file in the editor)
- adding/removing directories to/from the current workspace (see also
workspace options). Shortcuts to add/remove
directories are INSERT and DELETE (while the file tree owns the focus).
Use F5 (="update Class & File Outline" in the PopupMenu) to update the filetree.
Tip:
The tree can be controlled by the keyboard (arrow keys, enter). In addition
it is possible to type "into" the tree to locate an item starting with the typed
string. This works in all listboxes or tree controls of AnyJ.
