Creating a Component Palette Tab

  1. Right-click just above the tabs in the Component Palette and choose Create New Category from the contextual menu.

    There are several contextual menus available in the Component Palette. If you have trouble finding the right contextual menu you can use these alternative steps:

    1. From the main window, choose Tools and choose Options.
    2. In the Options window, expand IDE Configuration and expand Look and Feel.
    3. Right-click the Palette node and choose Add Palette Category from the contextual menu.
  2. Type a name for the new tab in the dialog box that appears. Click OK.

    You can later rename component tabs in the Options window by choosing Rename on the contextual menu for that tab or by clicking the tab name to initiate in-line editing.

Tip Standard clipboard operations are available in the Options window at each level of the Component Palette hierarchy. Individual components can be cut, copied, and pasted between component tabs. For example, you can copy the components you use most to a new tab for quick and easy access.
