Toolbox tab

The Toolbox tab contains a search box and a list of widgets, divided into categories and subcategories.

• Clicking on a category name expands or collapses that category.
• Clicking on a subcategory name expands or collapses that subcategory as well.

Within the toolbox, Studio persists the state of each category (expanded or collapsed) across all PCF editor views. It also persists the state of each category to each new Studio session.

Studio only displays widget categories containing widgets that are valid and available for use in the current PCF file. If you hover the mouse cursor over a widget name in the list, then Studio displays a description of that widget in a tooltip.

Search box

You use the search box to filter the full set of widgets. Typing in the search box temporarily expands all widget categories and highlights:

• Any widgets whose category name matches the typed text
• Any widgets whose name matches the typed text
• Any widgets whose actual name in the XML matches the typed text
• Any widgets whose description contains the typed text

Clicking the X icon by the search box clears text from the box and stops filtering the widget list. Keyboard shortcut Alt+/ gives focus to the search box.
