__NOTOC__
== Displaying the Class Editor ==

{{PrF_UG_TOC_classes}}<div id='prf_ug'>

You view or
[[PrF_UG_classes_editing_a_class|edit]]
an existing class using the
[[PrF_UG_classes_class_editor|Class Editor]].
This topic covers the following:

<ul class='a'>
<li>
[[#Using_the_Classes_Tab|viewing the Class Editor at the Classes Tab]]


<li>
[[#Displaying_the_Class_Editor_as_a_Free-standing_Window|displaying the Class Editor as a free-standing window]]


<li>
[[#Managing_Multiple_Editors|managing multiple editors]]

</ul>

Note: If the class is a system class or has been
[[PrF_UG_projects_including_a_project|included]]
from another project,
it cannot be edited.
Included classes are shown with a pale class icon to the left.

Whenever you enter changes into the Class Editor,
they are immediately visible everywhere in the project.
To write the changes to disk,
select File | Save Project.

=== Using the Classes Tab ===

To view or edit a class from the
[[PrF_UG_classes_classes_tab|Classes Tab]]:

<ol class='a'>
<li>
Select the class you want to edit in the
[[PrF_UG_classes_class_browser|Class Browser]]
in the
[[PrF_UG_classes_classes_tab|Classes Tab]].


<li>
Enter the updated information directly in the
[[PrF_UG_classes_class_editor|Class Editor]]
to the right.

</ol>

=== Displaying the Class Editor as a Free-standing Window ===

You can open the Class Editor to view or edit a class anywhere the View Class
<div>[[Image:PrF_UG_classes_class.view.gif|classes_class.view]]</div>
button appears,
including the following locations:

<ul class='a'>
<li>
the
[[PrF_UG_classes_classes_tab|Classes Tab]]


<li>
the
[[PrF_UG_inst_class_browser_at_instances|Class Browser]]
at the
[[PrF_UG_inst_instances_tab|Instances Tab]]


<li>
the
[[PrF_UG_slots_value_type_class#Setting_the_Value_Type_to_Class|Allowed Superclasses]]
pane for a slot of
[[PrF_UG_slots_value_type_class|type Class]]


<li>
the Class Entry field at the
[[PrF_UG_queries_query_tab|Queries Tab]]


<li>
the
[[PrF_UG_classes_references_window|References Window]]

</ul>

To view or edit a class using the
[[PrF_UG_classes_class_editor|Class Editor]]:

<ol class='a'>
<li>
Select the class you want to edit.


<li>
Click the View Class
[[Image:PrF_UG_classes_class.view.gif|classes_class.view]]
icon at the upper right of the pane to open the
[[PrF_UG_classes_class_editor|Class Editor]]
as a free-standing window.

</ol>

To view or edit the information for several classes at once,
open a separate
[[PrF_UG_classes_class_editor|Class Editor]]
for each class.
Opening a new Class Editor does not close the previous editor.
This allows you to compare the attributes for two or more classes.
Edits can be made directly in any open Class Editor.

=== Managing Multiple Editors ===

If you have multiple editor windows open,
you can manage them as follows:

<ul class='a'>
<li>
Cascade multiple windows by selecting Windows |
[[Image:PrF_UG_windows_cascade_windows.gif|windows_cascade_windows]]
Cascade Windows.


<li>
Close all open editor windows by selecting Windows |
[[Image:PrF_UG_windows_close_all_windows.gif|windows_close_all_windows]]
Close All Windows.

</ul>
