In the General area of Preferences (Options on Windows and Linux) change "Show Library and Inspector" from "In the project window" to "As floating palettes".Rapid development of desktop, mobile, and web applications is what makes Xojo the tool of choice for developers, whether beginners or experts. If you would prefer to position the Library and Inspector anywhere or have them both on screen at the same time, you should use the preference to display them as separate Palettes, which you can then position however you want (even a second display).
You can quickly toggle between the Library and Inspector using View ↠ Toggle Palettes in the menu. You can exclude controls from appearing in this section by using the HideFromLibrary attribute or by choosing "All Built-In Controls" from the drop-down at the top of the Library.īy default, the Library and Inspector display on the right side of the window and only one appears at a time. This is an easy way to drag your own custom controls onto a layout. Lastly, you can right-click on a control in the Library to display the "New Subclass" menu which creates a subclass of the control and adds it to your project.Īt the very bottom of the Library (in a group called Project Controls, if you have group headings displayed) is a list of control subclasses from your project. You can also double-click the control to add it to either the Navigator (as a subclass) or the Layout Editor, depending on which one has the focus. You can drag controls from the Library directly to the Navigator to immediately create a subclass of the control. You can drag controls from the Library onto the Layout Editor if it supports the control you have selected. There are several ways to use the controls in the Library. Lastly, if a control is selected in the Library, you can just start typing to jump to specific controls. For example, type “button” to see all the button controls. You can also use the Search field (also at the top) to quickly search for and show controls by name or type. Using the drop-down at the top of the Library you can choose to show "All Controls" (all the controls included with Xojo as well as any subclasses of controls you have added to your project), "All Built-In Controls" (only the controls included with Xojo) or you can choose to show only controls from a specific group. If you do not need to see the description, you can resize the area to hide it. Hovering the mouse over any control displays its description in the Description Area at the bottom of the Library. You can make these changes using the small “gear” icon at the top of the Library. By default the controls are shown in Large size, but you can also change the size, add group headers and change the sorting. The Library allows you to display controls in several ways. The Library displays on the right side of the workspace by default, but you can also set a preference to have it display as a floating palette. To show the Library, click the Library button on the toolbar, select View ↠ Library from the menu or press the shortcut key (⌘-L on macOS, Ctrl-L on Windows and Linux). It also contains all the project items that you can add to your project. The Library (also called the Control Library) is a list of all built-in controls that can be added to your layout for your project type.
