In the Outline view, click one of the screen descriptions in a
list of Next Screens to see an image of the application screen that corresponds
to that screen description.
This feature is useful when you are using the screen operations
editor to edit a screen operations file and you want to verify that a screen
description listed in a list of next screens corresponds to the application
screen that you think it corresponds to.
To see an image of the application
screen:
- Verify that the screen operations editor is open and that the Actions tab
is selected.
- In the Outline view, click the name of the screen description that you
are interested in. (If the Outline view is not visible, see Opening or reopening a view.)
The screen description editor displays in the Actions tab
of the screen operations editor an image of the application screen corresponding
to the screen description.
Note: The screen operations editor gets the
information for the image of the application screen from the screen information
stored in the screen message to which the screen description belongs. More
specifically:
- The screen operations editor searches for the screen message file to which
the screen description belongs. (For example, FileBrowse_1.sfmxsd. However,
a screen description need not have the same name as the screen message file
that contains it.)
- The screen operations editor builds the image of the application screen
from information about the application screen that was stored in the screen
message file when the screen message file was created (for example, when you
captured the screen in the host editor). This information is separate from
any screen description contained in the screen image file.
