Filters limit which forms
are shown in the EGL Text Form editor. You can define
any number of filters, but only one filter can be active at a time.
Filters
affect only the presentation of the form group at design time; they
do not
affect the EGL code in any way.
You can switch between active
filters with the list next to the Filters button
at the top of the editor. To create, edit, or delete filters, click
the Filters button.
From the Filters
window, you can manage your filters by using the following
functions:
- Select filters from the list.
- Add a new
filter by clicking New.
- Delete a filter
by selecting it from the list and clicking Remove.
- Select which forms are displayed when the filter is active.
