The SlickEdit® Interface
SCREEN LAYOUT
SlickEdit® uses a Multiple Document Interface (MDI), common to Windows applications that support
editing multiple documents. The outer window is called the MDI frame or window. For a non-clipped MDI
child window, start a new instance of SlickEdit.
SlickEdit contains the following screen elements:
• Title bar - The title bar shows the product name and the name and path of the file currently in
focus.
• Main menu - The main menu is displayed under the title bar (File, Edit, Search, etc.).
• Standard toolbar - Toolbars are groups of buttons (called toolbar controls) that allow you to
perform specific operations. The Standard toolbar is displayed and docked under the main menu
by default. Toolbars can be moved by clicking and dragging the grab bars (or title bar if floating).
See Toolbars and Tool Windows for more information.
• Editor pane - The editor pane is the viewing area within SlickEdit inside of which editor windows
(files or buffers that are being editing) are floating or docked.
• Editor windows - Editor windows are files or buffers that are open for editing and are docked or
floating inside of the editor pane. See Buffers and Editor Windows for more information.
