The IDL editor window is displayed when you create a new module or interface. You can also display the source code for datatypes, exceptions, and interfaces by right-clicking on their icons and choosing Edit IDL from the popup menu.
The File menu contains the following options:
Option |
Description |
|---|---|
Open |
Allows you to replace the editor’s current contents with the contents of an operating system file. |
Save |
Saves your changes in the EAServer IDL repository. When you save to the repository, EAServer Manager checks the syntax of the module or declaration and displays any syntax errors. |
Save As |
Allows you to save the contents of the editor window into a specified file. This option can be used to export IDL definitions of EAServer interfaces for use with other vendor’s CORBA ORB implementations. |
Exit |
Closes the editor window without saving. |
The current IDL editor does not have menu commands for copying, cutting, and pasting text. However, you can use the standard keyboard commands for your platform as described below:
Platform |
What you do |
|---|---|
Windows |
Use the mouse to select text. Use Control+C to copy, Control+V to paste, and Control+X to cut. |
UNIX (all) |
Use the mouse to select text. Key mappings are defined by your X-Windows display configuration. Most workstation keyboards have Copy, Cut, and Paste keys that work as labeled with the manufacturer’s default X-display configuration. See your X-Windows system documentation for more information. |
