The Project Explorer gives a layout of the project and lets you navigate through its parts.

The top line brings up the global Code and properties for the project. A Code Window tab will open, and the project’s properties will show in the Properties Window.

Clicking on a line that has a form will open the layout of the form in the Design Screen and the form’s properties will show in the Property Window.

Clicking on Code line within a form will display a Code Window with the code for that form and the form’s properties in the Properties Window.

Clicking on a control within a form will bring up the Design Screen with the control selected on it. The properties of the control will show in the Property Window.

Use the down arrow to move the currently selected item down the list, and use up arrow to move it up. Controls higher on the list will go behind lower items if they overlap.

Use the X to delete the currently selected item. There is no undo.

To change the name of a control or form, double click on its name in the Project Explorer, or edit the id in the Properties Window. Windows XP does not allow the editing of the name in the Project Explorer.

To add an external file or Code Module to your project, drag and drop it into the Project Explorer.

Next: Properties Window
