Key Components
Real-Time Designer shows the elements that it captures in the tree, as follows:
The application executable name in which you capture a field appears as the first level branch in the tree.
Each window in that application appears as a sub-branch in the tree and each sub-window appears as a branch of the window from which it was accessed.
Each field in a window appears as a sub-branch of the window in which it is located.
You can right-click the root of the Screen Elements tree and select Show Hidden to display more branches with lower-level information, such as the hierarchy of areas in the window and the fields that they contain.
You can reposition the screen elements in the Screen Elements tree to place them in the most efficient order for processing. This feature is available only if the screen elements are siblings (have the same parent). To move a screen element, right-click the screen element and then select Move Up or Move Down.
Main Work Area: The main work area displays the screen and its fields, which you can select in the following tabs:
Snapshot Tab: Enables you to see a location of the captured screen element in a third-party application screen, as described in Using the Snapshot Tab.
Identification Tab: Shows and enables you to capture and modify the details captured by Real-Time Designer for this screen element, as described in Using the Identification Tab.
