The Component Tree shows the hierarchical relationship between all of the
components in the
Design View.
Directly
above the Component Tree, the Root List is a dropdown list of
all the top-level controls. �In this example, all of the controls are children of the
"shell". When a top-level container is selected, its controls
appear in the Content Pane.
Each component in the tree shows is icon (with
potential decorators), its variable name and text label. Components may
be represented as local variables or fields, and variable names must be
unique within the scope in which the component is defined.
 Icon decorators (see table below) are used to indicate whether a
component defines and events or is exposed as a public component of a
custom container.
Right-click on an entry in the tree to access the same
context menu available in the
Design View. Components may be re-arranged in the tree via drag/drop and
deleted using the Delete key.
Multiple components may be selected in the tree by holding down the
Ctrl key to add individual selections or the Shift key to add
contiguous selections. |
