Using the Resource Editors

The following dialogs and notes show how to use the common features of the Resource Editors. Descriptions on specific editors can be found in The Graphic Objects.

 
  1. The resources are bundled into groups. Each bundle can be selected by clicking on its tab at the top of the resource editor.
  2. To the left of each resource is a check-box. The check-box is set whenever a resource is modified. If you clear the check-box, the resource is set to its default value.
  3. Some resources are preceded by a yellow hand. This indicates that you must specify this resource.
  4. Clicking on the Help button brings up the on-line help for that dialog.

 

  1. To enter a new value in a field, double click in the field and then enter the new value. It will be not be possible to close the dialog if you enter an invalid value.
  2. Resources with a fixed set of values will be displayed using a pull-down. Click on the pull-down to select the desired value. If there are many possible values the pull-down will be displayed with a scroll bar.
  3. Some numeric fields will have spin buttons. Click on the up button to increase the value and on the down button to decrease it. The increment value is set by Gsharp to an appropriate value. Values can also be entered directly into the field in the usual way.
  4. If the resource is followed by a button containing "...", then clicking on this button will display a dialog to help you choose a value. If the resource is a color then the ColorChooser is displayed. If the resource is a font then the FontChooser is displayed
