Bulldozer: Attribute Form Display Area Help!


General

The attribute form display area contains the attributes for the element being edited. An element is edited by choosing the modify button from the menu bar edit menu , choosing the modify button from the dispay area popup or by choosing a selection in the Attribute Form edit menu from the Attribute Form menu bar .

In general there are three types of attribute editing widgets allowing for three types of attribute data:
  1. Numeric or string data is entered into a Text Verify Widget .
  2. Option data is entered using a option menu.
  3. Binary and attributes with two options are entered using a radio box.
Whenever an attribute is entered into it's corresponding interface 'widget' the corresponding elements attribute is immediately updated.

Functionality

The attributes within the attribute edit form will disappear when the cursor moves out of the scope of the element being edited. For instance. If the cursor is on an image and the attributes of the image are being edited and the user clicks on a separator the attributes within the attribute editor will disappear. However if the cursor os within bold text and the cursor is moved within that same bold text the attributes will remain in the editor.
