Method Builder Window
Overview
The Method is displayed in a window that is split into a left and a right pane. The
left pane is the Method Directory pane and provides a tree-structured view of the
Method. The right pane is the Method Parameters pane and provides the
capability to configure various method parameters. The items displayed in the
Method Parameters pane correspond to the selected item in the Method
Directory pane.
The splitter bar that separates the panes is used to size the panes. When the
mouse cursor is over the splitter bar, click and drag the mouse to size the area
displayed in each pane. You can also hide the Method Directory (or left) pane by
clicking the Hide Directory toolbar button on the Window toolbar.
By default, the toolbar buttons are arranged at the top of the main window below
the Method Builder menu. There are three toolbars: the Main toolbar for opening,
saving, and printing Method files; the Directory toolbar for traversing the tree
displayed in the Method Directory pane; and the Window toolbar for positioning
the Method windows. By positioning the mouse cursor over a toolbar button, a
short description of it is displayed for a brief time. In addition, a status bar is
displayed at the bottom of the Method Builder main window. Any of the toolbars
and the status bar may be hidden or shown by selecting the appropriate item
from the Method Builder View menu.
Only one instance of the Method Builder application is used to display and edit
Method files. If the Method Builder application is already running when you
choose to edit a Method file, a new window is displayed for the Method file. Any
previously open Method file can be accessed by selecting the appropriate
