Customizing Document Windows

Document windows that display their contents in a list such as the Members, Keys, and Dependencies windows can be customized to sort and display their contents selectively.

To customize the window display, right-click on a column heading to display a context menu. The following table identifies the display options on the menu. Any display option is restricted to the column that you selected.

Filter Bar

The Filter Bar allows the entry of text in one or more columns for which the entries in the columns are matched. Click the button adjacent to each text box to display a menu which allows the filter for that column to be cleared, or allows to specify if the selection should match the case of the text entered. The following operands !, <>, <, <=, >, >=, = will precede the text that we need to filter on in the Filter Bar.

Further customization of the window contents can be achieved using the Filter Definitions dialog box.
