Additional Information
The Stream Editor is a modeless dialog containing a text field and various controls, through which the user may edit any given stream in a document. The editor presents a Windows-based interface including all the standard keystrokes, features and functionality of an editor such as Notepad.
The dialog displays the following functions as options:
• New: allows the user to create a new stream without leaving the Stream Editor interface.
• Get: loads the current active stream from the document window into the current Stream Editor window
• Put: makes the document window stream match the current Stream Editor stream.
• Run: only available for script tag types (currently .sc and .pl). It will run the current stream as a script when clicked.
• Link: allows the user to toggle the cursor link option on or off.
When a Stream Editor window is marked as being cursor linked, the cursors in the document window and Stream Editor window will stay synchronized if the streams match. As you type or move around a cursor linked Stream Editor, the cursors on the yellow bar and WYSIWYG will follow and the typed text will appear and vice versa. When not cursor linked, the WYSIWYG and yellow bar will not reflect changes made in the stream editor until a manual refresh has been carried out via trf: wdr.
The Stream Editor interface provides a clean and simple environment in which to work with PTC ALD streams. The user may select a stream to edit from the editable combo box and can filter the list of streams by using the first combo box to select the types of streams to view.
