Sync Page Flow Editor with Source View |
 |
Syncs the Page Flow Editor
with the current cursor location in Source
Editor view. For example, if, in the Source Editor, the
cursor is in the method body of an action, clicking this button
will make the action become the focal node in the Page Flow
Editor. Similarly if a member JSP page is open in the Source
Editor, clicking this button will make that JSP the focal node.
This button is only enabled when the cursor is in the Source
Editor of some node. |
