The Component viewer allows you to view the structure of a [[EiffelBuild Notation|component]] without having to create new [[EiffelBuild Notation|objects]] from the [[EiffelBuild Notation|component]] .
|
|
|
|
This tool is displayed in a separate window, and may either be shown or hidden (default). To change between these two states, click [[Image:icon-component-viewer-color]] on the [[Main toolbar| main toolbar]] , or select '''Show/Hide component viewer''' from the '''View''' menu.

==Targeting a component==
|
|
|
|
To target a [[EiffelBuild Notation|component]] into the tool, [[EiffelBuild Notation|pick]] the [[EiffelBuild Notation|component]] from the [[Component viewer|component_viewer]] , and [[EiffelBuild Notation|drop]] on the [[Image:icon-component-viewer-color]] displayed in the tool bar of the component viewer (See screenshots above). Any existing component displayed is simply removed.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can hold down the Ctrl key while starting a [[EiffelBuild Notation|pick]] on a [[EiffelBuild Notation|component]] in the [[Component selector| component_selector]] . This will automatically target the [[EiffelBuild Notation|component]] to the component viewer. If the viewer is currently hidden, it will also make it visible.
|
|
|
|
==View types==
|
|
|
|
Looking at the left-hand screenshot above, you can see that the [[Image:icon-component-display-view-color]] button is depressed, meaning the component viewer is in display view mode. Clicking on [[Image:icon-component-build-view-color]] will put the component viewer into build mode view as shown in the right-hand screenshot. These modes are mutually exclusive and are described below:
|
|
* '''Builder view''' - This view is similar to the view used by the [[Display window|display window]] . i.e. the [[EiffelVision Introduction|EiffelVision 2]] controls are displayed exactly as is defined in the [[EiffelBuild Notation|component]] .
|
|
* '''Display view''' - This view is similar to the view used by the [[Builder window|builder window]] . i.e. all [[EiffelVision Introduction|EiffelVision 2]] containers are represented by frames so they are immediately visible. This makes the actual structure represented by the [[EiffelBuild Notation|component]] completely visible.

{{note|The type of the "root_object" within the component is displayed in the toolbar of the component viewer. }}
