Views in the Component Manager

ASCET offers an enhanced concept for viewing the database or workspace items. Folder, components, projects, containers and enumerations can be displayed in the "Contents" field under various aspects. For components and projects, the tabs of the "Contents" field offer an element, data, and implementation view. For components, method and layout views are offered, too, where appropriate. For folders, the field offers the folder view, which displays the objects in the folder as well as some information about the objects. The container view is much the same as the folder view.

Each tab offers several editing possibilities which are available via the Edit and Component menus or the context menu in the "Contents" field.

It is possible to modify the properties of components and projects in the Component Manager. By selecting the element you want in the "Contents" field, you can edit the configuration, the data set, the implementation or the layout, depending on the view you selected.

Method arguments and return values are exceptions to this. These elements can only be changed in the specification editors.
