IDL Structure page (Structure View dialog box)

This is a feature of JBuilder Enterprise.

Presents options to allow you to customize how structure elements of IDL files appear in the structure pane.

To display the Structure View Properties dialog box,

  1. Select an IDL file in the project pane.
  2. Right-click the structure pane.
  3. Choose Properties.

To create an IDL file, select File|New, then select the CORBA tab of the object gallery. Select Sample IDL and click OK. This wizard produces an IDL file that can be used for exploring the CORBA functionality of JBuilder.

Parse Delay

Use the Parse Delay slider to specify how often you want JBuilder to parse your code and register a change to the structure pane.

Structure Order

These are options that determine the order the elements in the IDL file appear in the structure pane. When all options are checked, the default setting, the elements are separated into types, operations, and attributes, and are sorted alphabetically. If no options are selected, the elements appear in the structure pane in the order they occur in the IDL file.

Separate Types/Operations/Attributes

Types appear first in the structure pane, followed by operations, which are followed by the attributes of the IDL file.

Sort alphabetically

The structure elements are sorted alphabetically.
