Description

Left Pane

This pane displays a tree control that contains all the application objects in the Application Object Tree (AOT). You can find an application object directly by typing its name in the Search box, or you can locate the application object directly.

Right Pane

This pane displays detailed information about the application object. The left column displays a list of all the methods, fields, or properties of the application object. The columns to the right display the inheritance hierarchy for the application object. A shaded box indicates that the method, field, or property is implemented by that class. For methods, click the shaded box to open a code editor for that method. If there is no shaded box, it means that method, field, or property is not implemented by that application object.
