Display Instances

  The Display Instances facility is used to display all instances of a given object. Direct Instances are computed as well as inherited ones. The Display Instances tool is called from the ConceptBaseWorkbench menubar (see Section 4.1.1).

The Display Instances window (see Figure 4.8) has the following features:

Class String Field

Enter the wished origin of the instances to be displayed.

First listbox

contains the found instances of the class

History listbox

contains previous origins.

Display Instances Button

Takes the selected item as new origin to display its instances in the first list box.

Telos Editor Button

Copies the frame of the selected object into the Telos-editor field of the ConceptBaseWorkbench.

Cancel Button

Leaves the Display Instances tool.

Help Button

Shows a help text.

If an item of the listboxes is selected by the return-key or double-click then a "`Display Instances"' operation is performed with the selected object as origin.
