Sets interactive verification to on or off.

When objects are being edited in the LANSA Editor, a verification process is run to provide feedback to you about the state of the object being edited. For source objects, such as functions and components, verification occurs as the source changes, while for non-source objects such as fields and files, verifications are run every 1.5 seconds. This verification process produces the error/warning triangles and messages seen throughout the Editor.

Available on Slave systems only.
Saves the master only state so it can be displayed in a new editor session. It is recommended that you run the Refresh Master Object List regularly to ensure the master-only state information is up to date.

Automatically refresh the list of repository objects.

Show objects in the editor using the short name (also referred to as identifier).

When you create an object, LANSA automatically generates an identifier for it based on the name of the object. The identifier can be up to 9 characters long. For objects that can be compiled into Windows DLLs, we recommend you select this option so that the suggested identifier matches the 8-character DDL name.

Automatically expands all parameters in the Command Assistant.

Displays advanced features in the Editor.

Displays Layout items in the Outline view.
When using layout managers to manage the layout of a component, layout items are created to attach to the member components.
Refer to Layout Managers in the Developer Guide.

Sets the target runtime to DirectX.

In single user environments, object locking can be turned off.

When object locking is on, locks are put on objects so that multiple users cannot edit them simultaneously.

Setting object locking to Read only sets all objects in the partition to READ ONLY status.

Refer to Object Locking in the Administrator Guide.

Sets the language of the LANSA development environment. If multiple languages have been installed, you can use this option to change the language.

Note that the language for the partition is changed when you log on the next time.
