Selecting / Activating a Class

The Package Browser is an immersive dialog box which displays the libraries loaded in session and the logical behaviors.

The root level displays all the libraries and logical behaviors that are loaded in session.

The levels below display the packages (i.e. sub-libraries) containing all the classes that can be instantiated.

    2. Right-click the class, then select Edit from the contextual menu.

    The class is highlighted in the Package Browser, and it also appears highlighted from the Component Browser.
