CodeCharge Studio

Command Area

The title bar contains the name of the application (i.e., CodeCharge Studio) and the open project. The right end of the title bar contains buttons to minimize, maximize, or close the application window.

The menu bar features seven drop-down menus (i.e., File, Edit, Project, View, Table, Tools and Help). These menus contain a series of options for various functions. Notice that the main menu names and some of the sub-menus have an underlined letter. This is indication that that menu can be executed using a short-cut key combination by pressing the Ctrl key together with the underlined letter.

Menu Bar and Title Bar

The toolbar provides quick access to many of the frequently used commands that are available in the menu bar. If you are concerned about screen space you can use the View menu in the menu bar to hide some or all of the toolbars. Each of the toolbars can be dragged and docked on the top, left or right sides of the application window.

You can also drag the toolbars away from the sides of the application window and in so doing create a floating toolbar.
