Element List in Graphical Mode 

The Element list provides you with an overview of all of the attributes of all of the elements on the screen. You can display and change the attributes in exactly the same way as in the attributes dialog box for a single element.
An element list is always assigned to an editor session. The way in which the attributes are displayed depends on whether you are using the Screen Painter in graphical or alphanumeric mode.

This section describes the element list in the graphical layout editor. To display the list, choose Element list from the editor.

 

If you start the element list from the initial screen of the Screen Painter, the system displays the element list in alphanumeric mode.

Special Features

The attributes in the element list are divided into four categories:

The groups are marked with different colors. When you click one of the colored buttons, the corresponding group of attributes is displayed in the dialog box.

You can expand or collapse a group of attributes by clicking the plus or minus sign below the attribute header.

The second column contains a hierarchical list of screen elements. Complex elements such as tabstrip controls and table controls each have a subtree. You can expand or collapse a subtree by clicking its plus or minus sign.
