Edit Menu
The Edit menu allows you to perform a number of coarse-grain, generic editing operations such as cutting and pasting, as shown in Table 2–2.
Edit
Undo
Shortcut: CTRL–Z — Undoes the most recent operation, including a Delete, if possible. The menu item text shows what that operation was. Item temporarily changes to Redo after an Undo. If undoing the most recent operation is not possible, this item is greyed out.
Edit
Cut
Shortcut: CTRL–X — Cuts the currently selected object, if any, to the clipboard.
Edit
Copy
Shortcut: CTRL–C — Copies the currently selected object, if any, to the clipboard.
Edit
Paste
Shortcut: CTRL–V — Pastes a copy of the current clipboard contents to the current workspace, at the current cursor position.
Edit
Duplicate
Creates a copy of the currently selected object without using the Clipboard. The new copy is pasted directly on top of the original. To see the original, the duplicate must first be moved out of the way.
Edit
Delete
Removes the currently selected object, if any. You can recover a deleted object if you can Undo the operation, but you cannot recover by pasting because the Clipboard is not involved.
Edit
Copy to FIle
Opens a dialog box to copy the source code for the currently selected object to an export (.wx) file.
Edit
Insert from File
Opens a dialog box to insert the contents of some file into the procedure editor at the current insertion point.
Edit
Tab Order
Only enabled when a frame is selected, this item opens the editor that allows you to define the TAB traversal order for objects in the frame. The editor offers five predefined orderings plus a custom ordering that you can define on a per-frame basis.
Edit
Goto Page
Only enabled when editing a SmartContainer. Opens the dialog box that lets you set the ADM Design Page. See the "Simple SmartContainers" section in "Organizer Objects" for information about the meaning of the Design Page.
