The Query Form

< This are raw developer notes, not meant to enjoy reading. >

The QueryForm is a bit convoluted to navigate in the Designer, it's control hierarchy is not so obvious. The VS 'Document Outline' view helps a lot. You find it via menu item 'View - Other Windows -Document Outline'. Nevertheless, here the explicit schema.

The VS 'Document Outline' view with the control hierarchy.

Below the control hierearchy in textual representation. The darkviolet items are newly added, they are missing in above image. The red text are developer notes.

• Form QueryForm
  • SplitContainer splitBrowser (fills the complete form)
    • SplitterPanel splitBrowser.Panel1 (the left side of the form)
      • ComboBox comboboxDatabase This seems redundant now with the Database ComboBox on the Connect Form. We don't select databases here anymore (or shall we?). So this has to be deleted perhaps (or made invisible, to start with).
      • Lable label1 Dito.
      • TreeView treeView
    • SplitterPanel splitBrowser.Panel2 (the right side of the form)
      • SplitContainer splitContainer_RightSide
        • SplitterPanel splitContainer_RightSide.Panel1
          • Button button_Queryform_Close
        • SplitterPanel splitContainer_RightSide.Panel2
          • SplitContainer splitContainer2
            • SplitterPanel SplitContainer2.Panel1
              • TabControl tabcontrol_Query
                • TabPage TabPage_Statements
                  • RichTextBox richtextbox_Query
                • TabPage TabPage_Options
                  • CheckBox checkbox_ShowDedicatedTreeview
                  • Button button_Queryform_Close
            • SplitterPanel SplitContainer2.Panel2
              • ToolsStripContainer toolStripContainer1
                • ToolsStripContentPanel toolStripContainer1.ContentPanel
                  • TabControl tabcontrol_Results Why is a TabControl inside a ToolStripContentPanel? Has this any reason, or is it incidential? Can I take the TabControl out of the ToolStripContentPanel and put it directly on the SplitterPanel?
                • ToolsStripPanel toolStripContainer1.LeftToolsStripPanel Is this used? Can it be deleted?
                • ToolsStripPanel toolStripContainer1.RightToolsStripPanel Is this used? Can it be deleted?
                • ToolsStripPanel toolStripContainer1.TopToolsStripPanel Is this used? Can it be deleted?
                • ToolsStripPanel toolStripContainer1.BottomToolsStripPanel
                  • StatusStrip statusStrip1
                    • ToolStripStatusLabel panRunStatus
                    • ToolStripStatusLabel panExecTime
                    • ToolStripStatusLabel panRows
