ObjectBoxes

ObjectBoxes are a family of window objects:


        ObjectList
        ObjectListView
        ObjectTree

as well as (within limits):
        ObjectCombobox

They are different to other window objects (widgets), since they don't just display one object, or a part of an object, but a whole set of objects (list). If they are filled via access path, this access path accordingly collects such a set, e.g. a collection. 

This results in common widget features, which can be seen in commands and parameters defined for each on exactly.

To keep InstantView® codes for these widgets as easy as possible, command syntax and -use are kept as uniform as possible. An ideal case requires only identifier modification ("ObjectList" -> "ObjectListView") to change the object box representation. The entire function would remain unchanged with only appearance modifications. Exceptions are cases, where the features have only one of these two widgets. (e.g. a widget is an ObjectTree, the other one is not; trees cannot be auto-positioned.)

Selected entries can be copied to the clipboard via keyboard entry Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Insert (sse CopyToClipboard).
