About General Interface Builder Projects Chapter 3 User Interface Basics About General Interface Builder Palettes

The center of General Interface Builder is the work area. In the work area, you can create and modify application components using palettes and tools, and edit files of types such as XML and JavaScript.

Work Area Tabs and Editors

The work area is tabbed, so that you can open multiple files simultaneously as you work. General Interface Builder includes editors for creating and editing files of these types: GUI components, XML, XSL, JavaScript, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), dynamic properties, and mapping rules files. For more information, see the General Interface Developer Guide.

If a file is read-only, a Lock icon appears on the work area tab. To unlock a locked, read-only file, double-click the Lock icon.

  • Live Component or Grid view
  • Source view
  • Formatted Source XML (Read Only) view
  • Rendered HTML (Read Only) view
