Viewing lists of parts

You can choose one or more EGL parts and group those parts in a list to filter or sort them.

  • Double-click a part to open it in the EGL editor.
  • Click a column header to sort the list by the part name, type, project, package, or filename.
  • Click the Refresh button at the top right of the view to refresh the information in the view.
  • Open the History list at the top right of the view to return to a list of parts you have viewed in the EGL Parts List view previously.
  • Filter the list of parts with the Filters list at the top right of the view.
  • Go to the part in the Project Explorer view, as follows: right-click the part and then click Show in Project Explorer.
  • Generate a main part by right-clicking it and then clicking Generate or Generate With Wizard.
  • Debug a program by right-clicking it and then clicking Debug EGL Program.
  • Debug a Rich UI handler by right-clicking it and then clicking Debug EGL Rich UI Application.
  • Open a part in the EGL Parts Reference view by right-clicking a program, library, handler, or service and then clicking Open in Parts Reference. See Viewing part references.
  • Search for related EGL code by right-clicking on the part, clicking References or Declarations, and then selecting a scope for the search.

Filtering lists of parts

While viewing a list of parts in the EGL Parts List view, you can filter the list to include only certain parts:
  1. Populate the EGL Parts List view with EGL parts.
  2. From the list at the top right corner of the EGL Parts List view, click Filters. The EGL Parts List Filter window opens.
  3. In the EGL Parts List Filter window, set the criteria for the filter:
    • To filter by project, folder, package, or file, select or deselect the resources under Part Resources.
    • To filter by type of part, select or deselect the types of parts under Part Type.
    • To filter by part name, enter a part name in the Part name filter field. A question mark (?) represents any one character and an asterisk (*) represents a series of any characters.
  4. When you are finished setting the filter in the EGL Parts List Filter window, click OK. Only the parts that match the filter criteria are shown in the EGL Parts List view.
