Changing the Width of the Map Explorer

In either the Design tab or the View tab, you can make the Map Explorer
wider or narrower. If layer names are too long to display at the current Map
Explorer width, you may want to widen it. If you do not need the current
width of the Map Explorer to display layer information, you may want to
narrow it to display more of the current map.
To resize the Map Explorer
Drag the vertical bar between the Map Explorer and map area left or right.
As you drag the vertical resizing bar right or left, the status bar displays the
width in pixels so that you can set the Viewer legend to a specific width.
You can easily get information about the map as well as about individual
features on the map. The status bar displays information about the map. For
example, it displays the current map scale, width, and height, as shown in
the following illustration.
The status bar also displays information about individual features on the
map. When you point with the mouse to a map feature, the status bar
displays the feature's layer and followed by the feature's name. Additionally,
Autodesk MapGuide Author displays the feature name in a yellow MapTip
popup that appears when you move the pointer over the feature. If the
feature is unnamed, the layer and feature name area of the status bar remains
blank, and no MapTip appears.
