Viewing All Elements Connected to an Item

You do not have to change to the browser view if you want to look at or edit the implementations of the elements connected directly to a graphic object (element, operator, connection). This function is of particular interest for testing the implementations of the inputs and outputs of an operator which is why this is the only case described below.

Right-click a graphic object and select Browse Connected Elements from the context menu.
The Search Results view opens. It contains the tabs Elements, Data and Implementation, and it lists all the elements connected directly to the selected graphic object.
If the graphic object is an element, it is displayed too. Operators are not contained in the list.
The tabs have the same function and structure as those of the Component Manager.
Work in the tabs as described in the following topics.
The relevant editors to edit the element properties can be opened with a double-click.
To close the Search Results view, do one of the following.
- Click the X at the top right of the field to hide the field.
- In the View menu, point to Show/Hide and select Search Results.
You can redisplay the field via the View menu, Show / Hide submenu, Search Results option, as well as via the context menu, although the content is not adapted to the current selection in the drawing area in the first case.
