The Visual Mobile Designer (VMD) Navigator view displays all of the objects
that have been added to the application with the Visual Designer.
The Navigator view is available when you are using the VMD to design the flow
and user interface for your Mobile application. The default location of the
Navigator is the lower left corner of the Visual Mobile Designer.
The Navigator displays all of the objects in the form of a menu tree. You
can use the menu tree to add, remove, or change the order of objects in the
menu. Objects selected in the Navigator are highlighted in Screen
Designer view, if the containing component is currently opened in the screen
designer
view.
The objects properties are displayed
in the Property Sheet window.
You can also edit the properties of any object in the menu by right-clicking
on the node. The specific actions you can perform on a node in the Navigator
window depend upon
the category
and type of the object.
The Visual Design
root node has properties that define:
MIDP version. Displays the
version used for the Visual
Design.
You can change the MIDP version used by the project by right-clicking on
the node and choosing Convert To.
If you convert from MIDP 2.0 to MIDP 1.0, components and settings that
are not compatible with MIDP 1.0 are deleted from the design.
Generate Threaded Command Listeners. If checked, the IDE
generates command listeners on multiple threads. This prevents the UI from
freezing up when one thread is handling everything, such as command listening
and a time consuming or blocking operation, such a network communication.
Start Point Action. The action that is used when the
MIDlet is started. For example, when the MIDlet is selected, a menu screen
displays. Clicking on the elipsis (...) button opens the Action
Editor.
