What tools are available in NetObjects Fusion 4.0?
There are four default toolbars available in NetObjects Fusion 4.0: Standard, Advanced, NetObjects Components, and Forms.Standard Toolbar:
Select, Zoom, Text, Picture, Table, Layout Region, Form Area, Navigation Bar, Banner, Draw Object, and Lines. Advanced Toolbar: Rich Media, Java tool, ActiveX Control, Data List, and External HTML.
NetObjects Components Toolbar: Ad Banner, Message Board, DynaButton, Picture Loader, Forms Handler, Go Menu, Picture Rollover, Rotating Picture, Screen Door, Site Mapper, Ticker Tape, and Time-Based Picture.
Forms Toolbar: Button, Checkbox, Radio Button, Edit Field, MultiLine Edit Field, and ComboBox. For a description of each of these tools, see our User Guide, Chapter 1, NetObjects Fusion Basics In addition to
the NetObjects Components Toolbar, third party component toolbars may also be available in the listing of Components in the View Toolbars menu option. Which toolbars appear here is determined by the third party
components installed in the NetObjects Fusion 4.0/Components directory How can I hide the tools and palettes? Using the View menu, select either Toolbars or Palettes sub menu. If a check appears next to the toolbar or palette name, that indicates that the toolbar or
palette is currently being shown on the Fusion desktop. To hide a toolbar or palette that is currently being shown, select it from the sub menu again. This removes the check mark from next to the name and hide the
palette. You can also click the "x" that appears in the upper right hand corner of the window. This closes the palette or toolbar. To shrink the properties palette to display just its title bar, click the
minimize button; click the button again to restore the full display. What is the Object Tree? The Object Tree allows you to locate and rename objects on a page. This is especially helpful when you are working with layered or hidden objects. If you add
several of the same type of objects, NetObjects Fusion numbers each object in the order in which the objects are placed. Can I make the palettes smaller?
The Properties palette is resized through the use of the Small Fonts option in preferences. This option is checked by default in
a new NetObjects Fusion site. The Properties palette cannot be made any smaller than when using Small Fonts, but can be minimized or hidden. If your palettes appear cut off, or you cannot access some buttons on a
palette, please see solution S1302 in our on-line knowledgebase at: http://www.netobjects.com/support/html/knowledgebase.html. The Object Tree and Tools palettes can be resized. To resize these palettes, move your cursor to one of the sides or corners of the dialog box. When your
cursor becomes a double-arrow line, click and hold the mouse key down while you resize the palette. The tools palettes additionally can be docked on any edge of the display window. Click on the title bar to drag to a
dockable location. To undock a tool palette, click and drag on the double line to the left or at the top of the docked palette. Why don't the Component
Toolbars stay docked or where I place them on the screen? NetObjects Fusion 4.0 Components Toolbars are always rebuilt every
time the program is launched in order to accommodate any new components which may have been installed. This causes the toolbars to reset to a default position if they are being shown in the layout area. Why do I have all these strange toolbars in my list of Component Tools? NetObjects Fusion 4.0 creates toolbars based on the location of the NFX files in the Components directory:a) If you have placed all your NFX files along
with related files into the root of the Components directory, NetObjects Fusion creates a single toolbar for all those components b) If you have placed each NFX file along with related files into their own separate
folder in the Components directory, then each component receives its own toolbar named after the name of the folder. To change the content of the toolbars you may create your own directories in the
Components directory and place those NFX files you wish to be in that toolbar within those directories. Make sure to include all related files. For additional information on how to modify the components toolbars see
