Objects Panel Toolbar

The toolbar at the top of the i Objects panel provides the following four utilities.

Show select control

This control allows independently toggling display of each of the four main branches of the tree. By default, all branches are checked “on” for display. This is a program setting; it is not saved with the project. When a branch is not displayed on the tree (unchecked), it is also not included in tree updates.

Filter control

The edit box accepts strings by which the entire tree will be filtered. Tree display is reduced to only those tree elements (plus their “parent” container(s), as present) that match the string in the field. Clear the field to restore the full tree to display.

Note this will not filter into tree items that exceed the display limit.

Help button

Show the help topic for the i Objects panel in the Help window (or default browser, depending on the user setting).

Settings button

Access settings need to write a page for the options dialog for the settings so the preceding word can be a link to it. for the Objects panel.

The functions of the settings are described in other topics that discuss Tree Updating and Turn Off Double-Click, respectively.
