The Groups Tab</H3> 88 <P>The Groups tab view, like all tab views, looks and functions differently 89 when working with the resource bundle as a whole than when working with 90 an individual resource file. For an overview of this difference see <A HREF="view1.html">View 91 1</A>. RB Manager adds a level of hierarchy not commonly found in resource 92 bundles. This addtional level is called Groups. For more information on 93 Resource Groups see the <A HREF="../tutorial/index.html">Tutorial</A>.</P> 94 <P><B>Working with a Resource Bundle</B></P> 95 <P>The screen shot below shows RB Manager and a view of groups for the entire 96 resource bundle.</P> 97 <P><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/view_groups_bundle.gif" WIDTH="671" HEIGHT="543"></P> 98 <P>Unlike the Untranslated tab view, this view allows the editing of resources. 99 Editing or adding resources at this level affects the resource bundle 100 as a whole. Thus if a resource has all ready been translated in a resource 101 file, it will be marked as untranslated to reflect the change in the entire 102 bundle.</P> 103 <P>Editing a resource is as simple as selecting the group from the drop 104 down box at the top of the screen, double clicking a resource, making 105 the desired change, and clicking 'Edit' on the dialog box resulting from 106 the double click. Optionally, the resource can be edited by selecting 107 it and pressing the 'Edit Resource' button instead of double clicking.</P> 108 <P>The Resource Group can also be edited. The name and comment associate 109 with the group can be changed by pressing the 'Edit Group' button. Pressing 110 the 'Delete Group' button will delete both the group and all resources 111 contained within it. A dialog will prompt you when this button is pressed 112 to make sure this is what you intend to do.</P> 113 <P>Resources created in the Group view will by default be placed in the 114 group currently being shown. This can be changed however by selecting 115 another group name from the resource creation dialog box.</P> 116 <P>This view is probably the most commonly used view by developers inserting 117 new resources into a bundle.</P> 118 <P><B>Working with a Resource File</B></P> 119 <P>The next screen shot shows the Group tab view when working with an individual 120 resource file.</P> 121 <P><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/view_groups_file.gif" WIDTH="671" HEIGHT="543"></P> 122 <P>The functionality of this view mostly mirrors that of the Untranslated 123 tab view. More on that view is found in <A HREF="view3.html">View 3</A>. 124 The only addition is that resources all ready marked as translated can 125 be seen and edited from this view. Selecting a group from the drop down 126 box will update the display with all resources, translated or not, from 127 that group.</P> 128 <P ALIGN="CENTER"><A HREF="view5.html">View 5.
