Results Window

Top  Previous  Next

Several of the MZ-Tools features show the results of an operation in a docking window like the following:

results_window

The treeview of the window shows code lines which belong to the result of the operation. In this window you can:

  • Expand or collapse one or all nodes with context menus.
  • Go to the code line in the code window of Visual Basic double-clicking on it or pressing the Enter key if the line is selected in the treeview. To return back to the results window from the code window without using the mouse you can use a customized shortcut called Last Results Window Used (Options window, Shortcuts tab).
  • Remove code lines from the results window pressing the Del key (this feature is useful if you are using the results as a "To Do" list).
  • Export the results to a text file (tab delimited).
  • Copy them to the clipboard.

When you right-click with the mouse on a treeview node, a context menu is shown with the following options:

  • Expand: expands the node.
  • Expand All: expands the node and its children.
  • Collapse: collapses the node.
  • Collapse All: collapses the node and its children.
  • Edit: edits the code line or the visual object.
  • Delete: deletes the code line from the treeview.
  • Copy: copies the list to the clipboard.
  • Export...: exports the list to a text file.

Remarks

  • To find a code line in the code window of Visual Basic, MZ-Tools uses the internal line numeration of Visual Basic. When you add or remove code lines, such numeration becomes invalid. In that case, MZ-Tools searches the string of the code line in the code window. Under some circumstances MZ-Tools may find a wrong line if the code window contains the same text duplicated.
