Let's look at the Open Window dialog box again using the sample project.
The Open Window dialog box lists all of the windows currently created for the project. You will notice that in the
sample project, three windows have been created: 10, 11, and 12. The asterisk next to Window #10 indicates that
this window has already been opened. Each window is listed with the Window name and size. The window name
is the name that you assign to the window when it is created. The window size is shown for quick reference.
Finally, you will notice that the Open Window dialog box is also used to create a new window or change any of the
settings for a window. Press the Exit command button to return to the main EasyBuilder screen.
By default, when a window is opened it will replace any window that was displayed in the work area of
EasyBuilder. To switch between open windows, click the Window menu and select from the list of windows
currently open. You can also cascade (select Window-Cascade) or tile (select Window-Tile) the open windows to
see the windows at the same time.
EasyBuilder requires more resources from your computer every time you open another window. When many
windows are open, the performance of the computer may be affected. Therefore, you may wish to close some of the
windows until you need to edit them.
To close a window
1. You will notice two small icons located in the upper right hand corner of each window: the
minimize icon
a window, click the close icon associated with that window .
These icons show in the window if minimized. Otherwise, the icons are located on the rightmost end of the menu
bar of EasyBuilder.
