Quick Open Toolbar

Quick Open Toolbar

The Quick Open box can be used to find and open any DataFlex source file belonging to the current workspace's makepath.

When you click in the textbox, a list drops down containing all source files in the makepath, plus the name of each makepath subfolder.

To search for a file:

  1. Click in the text box and begin typing the filename. The current selection in the list changes to the file closest matching the text you have typed so far.
  2. To search for a file belonging to a makepath subdirectory, type the name of the subdirectory. Once it is selected in the list, press Enter. This opens the subdirectory, and the list is now constrained to display files from this subdirectory. You may then begin typing the name of the file in this subdirectory you want to open.
  3. To open the currently selected file, simply press the Enter key.

Hot Keys

The following keys can be used to navigate the drop-down list of files:

  • Up Arrow
  • Down Arrow
  • Page Up
  • Page Down
  • Home
  • End
  • Ctrl + Page Up
  • Ctrl + Page Down
  • Ctrl + Home
  • Ctrl + End

Press Ctrl + Shift + O to activate the Quick Open toolbar at any time.

Note

If the selected filename is already open, the Studio will bring it to the front. Thus, when you have many open files, you can also use this toolbar to locate a particular file.

The list of files is constrained to DataFlex source files. This is determined by the filename's extension. To register other file extensions as DataFlex source files, select "Configure Studio" from the "Tools" menu and click on the "File Ext" tab.
