How do I Quickly Jump to a Line Using Its Number?

All the items in eDeveloper have a sequence number. You never need to memorize this number — you can use the Zoom and Locate options to easily find what you want. However, there are times when you will know the line number and want to go directly to that line.

Jumping to a line

1. Move the focus to the repository list you want.

2. Press Ctrl+J (Edit->Quick Access->Jump to Row).

3. Enter the line number you want.

4. Press Enter.

You will now be positioned on that line.

So, in the spirit of sharing and growing, I asked around the office for peoples favorite forums. Again, if anyone out there knows any more, let us know.

How do I Locate Any Line in the Studio?

Often you will want to find a particular item in a repository, or one particular line in a program. This is easily done using the Locate functionality. Locate has several options, so it is rather flexible. By default, it will find text anywhere within the list, from the current location on down.

For instance, in the example above, Check will match Yes/No Checkbox and also Checkbox. Entering Alpha would match any line with the Attribute of Alpha. Since we had the Match case box checked, it will only match items that have the same capitalization as the text to find.

If you check the Regular Expression box, you can enter rather intricate expression masks too. The eDeveloper Help has the syntax details for regular expressions.

To locate a line

1. Press Ctrl+L (or Edit->Quick Access->Locate Row).

2. Type in the text you want to find in the Locate dialog box.

3. Press Enter (or click OK).

The cursor will move to the first line that matches your search criteria. Use Ctrl+N (or Edit-

Hint: The Locate Line option works within the current open list. So, if you are working in one open folder, it will only find objects in that folder. If you want to search the entire repository, open the entire repository.

How do I Separate Palettes?

The Studio palettes are very flexible and can be resized, moved, or docked according to your work style. To save space, the palettes can also be combined as a single window. Sometimes

they become combined accidentally; if you move one too closely to another.

To separate combined palettes

1. Move the focus to the palette.

2. Holding down the Ctrl key, drag the title bar off in any direction.

3. Let go of the Ctrl key.

4. Repeat the process if you have three combined palettes.

The palettes will now be separated.
