The Component Browser

The Component Browser allows you to select what display, macro, image, parameter, or message file will be called when a button or display object is activated at run time.

To specify a component

  1. Open the object’s property panel or Properties dialog box.
  2. Click the property (Display, MessageFile, ParameterFile, for example) that needs to be defined. A Browse button (...) appears at the right.
  3. Click the Browse button. The Component Browser opens with a list of the components of that type available in the project.
  4. Select the component (parameter or message file, display, macro, or image) to be called when the object is activated at run time, that is, when the button is pressed or the display object is clicked.
  5. Click OK.
