Navigator Window (XML Schema Tools)

See Also

The Navigator window provides a compact view of the currently selected file and simplifies navigation between different parts of the file. For XML schema files, the Navigator has three views: Design, Schema, and XML.

Design View

The Design View of the Navigator window view is a node representation of the Design view of the XML schema editor. See XML Schema Editor: About the Design View

Schema View

The Schema View of the Navigator window shows a tree similar to the one in the column view of the Schema view of the XML schema editor. See XML Schema Editor: About the Schema View

XML View

The XML View of the Navigator window shows a tree of components. You can right-click a node and choose one of the following options to change the level of detail to display in the Navigator window:

• Show Attributes. Displays the attributes of each component.
• Show Content. Displays the text content of each component.

Navigation

You can use different techniques to navigate directly to schema components from the Navigator window.

To navigate from the Navigator window to a view in the XML schema editor using the right-click pop-up menu:

• Select and right-click and node and choose Go To > view-in-xml-schema-editor.
  The view-in-xml-schema-editor of the XML schema editor becomes the active view and the schema component you selected in the Navigator window is the current selection in the view-in-xml-schema-editor view.

To navigate from the Navigator window to a view in the XML schema editor using double-click:

• Double-click a node in the view of the Navigator window.
  One of the following happens:
  
  • If you invoked the action from the Design view of the Navigator window, the Design view of the XML schema editor becomes the active view.
  • If you invoked the action from the Schema view of the Navigator window, the column view of the Schema view of the XML schema editor becomes the active view.
  • If you invoked the action from the XML view of the Navigator window, the Source view of the XML schema editor becomes the active view.
