The Project Explorer is a special window in the VBE that shows each of the elements of your VBA project. The elements are presented in a tree format, with each branch displaying related information, such as forms, code modules, and elements from iFIX, such as pictures, toolbars, and global pages.
The Project Explorer makes it easy to select the project elements that you want to work with. For example, if you want to add a button to a particular form you've been working on, you can select the form from the Project Explorer. After you select a project element to edit, the VBA editor opens the appropriate tool. For example, if you select a form, the form displays on screen with the Form Toolbox available.
There are two ways to select and edit a project element that displays in the Project Explorer:
- Double-click the object.
- Choose the object, right-click, and then choose either View Object or View Code. Only the appropriate choice will be available. For example, View Object would not be available if you chose a code module.
To view the Project Explorer, select the Project Explorer command from the View menu or press Ctrl+R.
