Selecting an Object
You can use either of the following techniques to select an object from the resource procedure window:
- Self-guided selection — Double-click an object in the resource procedure window.
If you use self-guided selection, click the Uncover Object button to expose an object hidden under the currently selected object.
- Tool-guided selection — Click the Next Object button. Progress determines which object is the next object according to the order in which the objects were created. If you use tool-guided selection, you do not have to use the Uncover Object button.
The major advantage to tool-guided selection is that it ensures you translate all the user-interface objects in a procedure, including those objects that might be hidden underneath other objects.
In addition to the alert box that appears when you open a resource procedure, the Next Frame button is an indicator of whether there is more than one frame for the procedure. If the Next Frame button is grayed out, there is only one frame; if it is enabled, there are at least two frames for the procedure and you can click the Next Frames button to see the other frames.
NOTE: The Visual Translator treats a menu bar as a separate frame. For example, if the only objects in a resource procedure are a menu bar and a frame, Progress generates an alert box when you open the procedure stating that there are two frames.
