Configuration

XML based definition of editor appearance, editor actions, pull down menus, toolbar icons, keyboard shortcuts and context-sensitive menus

RealObjects edit-on Pro allows customization of the entire user interface including:

• Editor size and color
• Pull down menus
• Context-sensitive menus
• Key board shortcuts for all editor actions
• Enable/disable toolbar buttons
• Tool-tips
• Language (English, German, French and Spanish is already included)
• Tab panel and status bar placement
• Enable/disable "Source View"
  

Customization can be conveniently done through two clearly structured XML configuration files, uiconfig.xml and config.xml.

The editor allows to group icons and menus using separators, change the toolbar order and replace the standard icons by your own icons with different sizes and styles. With these flexible options you can enforce corporate design standards of the editor appearance and guarantee seamless integration into your application.

It is also possible to include custom toolbar buttons and custom dialogs which, for example, enable the interaction with server side applications such as databases, image repositories, etc.

For more information see also the Customization page.

Choose tab panel and status bar placement

Through a parameter the integrator can specify whether the tab panel and status bar shall be placed at the bottom or top of the editor's canvas.
