Component Tree

The Component tree displays a hierarchy of dashboard components. The root panel forms the root node of the tree. Normal components and containers are shown as nodes with different icons. Components held by a container or a pane (e.g. a tab of a tabbed panel) are shown as its child nodes.

Hierarchy of components in dashboard's component tree does not match hierarchy of component contexts in dashboard's data model.

The component tree may be used for selecting components and panes of multi-pane containers. When a component or pane is selected in the resource window, it is also selected in the work area. Its properties are shown in the Component Properties window.

Every component in the tree has the following operations activated by adjacent icons:

• View/Hide. Effectively triggers Visible property of the component.

• Rename. Helps to change name of a component/container/pane.

• Delete. Allows to delete the selected component/container/pane.

The Component name is used when referencing the component with bindings. The component may be renamed using Rename menu item.

If the renamed component had any bindings, these bindings need to be manually adjusted to reflect the component's new name.

Use the filter field on the top of the component tree to highlight components with names that contain the specified string.
