Users can open and work with any resource from the Solution explorer by selecting the resource and accessing the context menu. In addition, the following toolbar at the top of Solution Explorer provides navigational functions:

  1. TheHome button – Resets the Solution Explorer view to show all the nodes available; the degree to which the trees/branches are displayed depend on the previous Home display.
  2. Back andForward buttons – The Forward button limits the Solution Explorer list to the contents of the selected node; for example, selecting Database Servers and clicking on the Forward button displays the list of Database Servers. Selecting Back shows the previous list, in this case, the entire set of resources in Solution Explorer.
  3. Filter – is used to quickly show only items in the workspace containing the text entered in the filter.
  4. Refresh – Shows the default trees of the Solution explorer view. When the Refresh button is selected while viewing a specific node's contents, the view is reset to the list with all trees collapsed.
  5. Collapse tree – Collapses the current view to the first level nodes only.
  6. *Link with Editor* – Highlights the selected item in an active editor.

The Editor Area

Items opened from the Solution Explorer will open in an appropriate editor in the main Editor Area. For example, users can select a form to open in either a Form Editor (a graphical view of the form) or a Script Editor (a text editor). Media items will open using a supported media viewer (Servoy supports image files, and you can assign other applications to open other file types via the Preferences menu).
