User Options

There are properties within User Options related to WorkWithPlus. In order to configurate them you have to go to Tools -> Options -> WorkWithPlus category:

The GeneXus IDE Tools menu is open showing options Extensions Manager, Database Reverse Engineering, Application Integration, Application Help, Import Pattern Instances, Workflow, Options (highlighted), Advanced, Explore Knowledgebase Directory, Explore Target Environment Directory, SmartDevicesPlus, GeneXus Access Manager, Refactoring, Translations, GeneXus Account, and WorkWithPlus.

The GeneXus 'Options' dialog shows the WorkWithPlus node selected in the left tree, with a Misc section on the right listing Instance Editor set to 'SmartView', Show Custom Properties 'True', and Show Theme Updates Option 'True', plus a help panel describing the Instance Editor setting for Pattern Instances.

Instance Editor:

Specifies the way that the instances will be displayed. The options are:

  • SmartView: will display the instance with Tabs and you have the option to enable real time preview (docked or undocked)
  • TreeView: will display the instance as a Tree.
  • Both: will display a vertical Tab in which developer can choose to visualize the tree view or the smart view.

Example of SmartView:

The WorkWithPlus pattern editor's Patterns tab for the Person transaction shows the TableMain tree with tabs Basic Information, More Information, and Auditing, and a live form preview on the right displaying fields Id, First Name, Last Name, Full Name, Hobby, Nickname, Birth Date, Gender, Company Id, and Company Name under the Basic Information tab.

Example of Tree View:

The WorkWithPlus Pattern Instance tree for the Person transaction shows TableMain with tabs Basic Information, More Information, and Auditing (including CreateDate, CreateUser, UpdateDate, UpdateUser attributes), a Panel: Email node, an Action Group with Trn_Enter, Trn_Cancel, Trn_Delete actions, and a Level (Person) node containing Selection, Prompt, Prompt Email, Prompt Multiple, and View sub-nodes.

Example of Both:

The WorkWithPlus pattern editor's Transaction tab for Person shows the TableMain tree fully expanded alongside the Basic Information form preview with fields Id, First Name, Last Name, Full Name, Hobby, Nickname, Birth Date, Gender, Company Id, and Company Name; a callout labeled 'View Tree' points to a vertical tab on the left edge of the tree panel.

Show Custom Properties:

Specifies whether to show or not the custom properties related to Grid, Attribute and Variable nodes. More information about it: Custom Properties

Use Read-Only License:

Specifies whether to use a full license or to use a read-only license. This is useful when you have your WorkWithPlus licenses centralized in a GeneXus Protection Server, and in some cases you need a read-only license but in another cases you need a full one. When you mark this option as true it is necessary to have read-only licenses installed in the GX License Manager.
