Inspecting the AUI debug tree

You can view the debug tree for the Abstract User Interface (AUI) as it built on the front end for use by the Genero Desktop Client (GDC).

Before you begin
  • In order to view the AUI debug tree, the GDC must be in debug mode.
You can inspect the AUI debug tree for a running application. This can assist in the debugging and testing of the application.
  1. If the Genero Desktop Client is not running in debug mode, start the GDC in debug mode using the -D option.
  2. With the cursor over the current window, simultaneously hold down the Control (CTRL) key and right-click the mouse.
    The AUI Debug Tree window opens.
  3. Click on the various nodes in the AUI debug tree.
    When you click on a node, the attributes and values of those attributes display in the right-hand side of the AUI Debug Tree window. If the selected node corresponds to a visible component of the current window, the element briefly flashes.
  4. Click the Close icon in the window title bar to close the AUI Debug Tree window.
