GXCC Function bar
List editor
The following example displays a configuration dialog box containing two lists:
Several objects of the same type often have to be defined at configuration (e.g. Virtual
Library Servers, PVGs, LVGs). The list editor in the configuration dialog boxes is used for
this.
An editor area consists of a list of the objects already defined and a number of elements
such as display windows, text entry fields, command buttons and radio buttons. If you click
a line in the list, it is highlighted and the data associated with the selected object is copied
to the associated elements. The dialog box thus displays all the information relating to the
object selected from several objects of the same type.
A dark gray border shows that the list and the associated elements belong together.
The “NEW” button and, after you select a line, the “DELETE” button belong to the list. These
buttons are only offered when the associated functions can actually be executed.
“NEW” adds a new object, while “DELETE” deletes the objects displayed in the selected
line.
The data offered in text areas and as labels for buttons is also either displayed or not
displayed, depending on the context. If a name can no longer be changed, for example, it
appears as text. If it can be changed, it appears in an editable field. All the command
buttons are only offered when the function behind them can be used. Radio buttons are only
offered when there really is a choice. If there is no longer a choice, the valid setting is
displayed as text.
