Dialog Selector Menu

Edit starts the GUI Designer Editor which loads the selected Dialog ready for editing.

Simulate enables you to simulate the selected Dialog. Be sure to have an exit button or something similar in the Dialog because the simulation process can only be stopped within the Dialog (except using operating system tools such as "kill" under Unix).

Read Script enables you to overwrite the contents of the selected Dialog by a textual Dialog script. When you select this command, a file selector appears from which you have to choose the script file. The former contents of the Dialog are completely overwritten.

Write Script writes the contents of the selected Dialog to a textual script. The script may be used by an application developed with the GUI Designer. The script may be edited afterwards by a normal ASCII text editor if desired and re-read into the project library using "Read Script". See the GUI Designer documentation for explanation of the script file syntax.

Write Binary writes the contents of the selected Dialog to a binary script. The binary script may be used by an application developed with the GUI Designer, but it cannot be edited.

Show Traceability Links opens the Autotracer for the selected Dialog. The Autotracer automatically displays the Traceability Links from the selected Dialog to Requirements and Modular Design objects. You can alter the selections in the Autotracer if you want to display the Traceability Links for different objects. If the Autotracer was already open when you used this command then the entries in the Autotracer are updated.

Rename  enables you to rename the selected Dialog.

Delete  enables you to delete one or more Dialogs from the project library. Note: You cannot 'undo' this action.

Extract  enables you to backup the selected Dialog(s) from the current project library. These backup files can then be restored into a project library using the Load command. Please note that these backup files should not be confused with the scripts generated by "Write Script" as they have an entirely different syntax. The backup files should not be changed by hand.
