The Element Picker is used to select an element as a value for a property.
The Element Picker for the Inherits and Template properties consists of a dual pane window and a search capability to quickly retrieve a valid element. The dual pane is similar to Windows Explorer with the Navigation pane on the left and the Details pane on the right.
The Search feature in the Element Picker brings up a list of elements that match the specified search criteria. You can specify one or more letters of an element's name for a general search, or you can prefix the element kind before the colon in the search string. The Search feature supports elements such as class, attribute, parameter, profile, and reference. The scope of the search is always the root model.
For example,
att:XXX, attribute:XXX
You can use one or more letters of an element's name with the element kind as a prefix.
Cla:, class:
You can use a full string or a substring of an element kind as the search string.
Eta:XXX
If the element kind is not supported, the entire search string including the colon is considered in the search.
