Step 9. Display Feature Help Text

VED010 - Format Source Code

In this step you will use the help text tab to view feature help for components. Feature help is used to display detailed information about components. Feature help is particularly important as you edit forms and reusable parts.

1.  On the Repository tab, under Organizers, expand Groups and then expand Basic Controls.

2.  Select the Combo box control.

3.  Press F2.

     The Features tab will be displayed, showing the combo box control's Properties, Events and Methods.

     Note that this tab shows the Feature help (F2). As you learned in the Visual LANSA User Interface Tutorials, there is other context-sensitive help available when you press F1. F1 will always link you to a suitable reference in the online guides.

4.Expand Methods and double click on any of the component's methods. Help text is displayed explaining how the selected method can be used.
