1.3 Working with Filters

Since you do not have a new library yet for the Customer Inquiry application, you can create some filters using the ADTSLAB library. You will then learn to change these filters later to use them on your new library.

Adding a Library Filter

First let's add a library filter to our project.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select Filter > Add > Library filter.
  2. In the Library filter field specify ADTSLAB.

  3. Click OK. The filter is added.

Adding an Object Filter

Next let's create an object filter so you can access objects within your project.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select Filter > Add > Object filter.
  2. In the Object library field specify ADTSLAB. Leave the defaults in the other fields.
  3. Click OK. The filter is added and automatically opened. Objects are added to the file list on the right-hand pane of the window.

Adding a Member Filter

Next let's create a member filter so you can access members within your project.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select Filter > Add > Member filter.
  2. In the File field specify *.
  3. In the library field specify ADTSLAB. Leave the defaults in the other fields.
  4. Click OK. The filter is added and automatically opened. Objects are added to the file list on the right-hand pane of the window.

        This is what your window should now look like:
