Components Window

The Components window enables you to view and select components that you can add to a frame at build time. There are a number of ways to add a component to a frame. For example, you can select the component from the Components window, and then drag the component and drop it onto a frame. You can also double-click a component in the Components window to make that component appear on a frame.

With the Components window, you can also

manage resource entries for maintaining class libraries.
add to the classes or resources that appear in the window.
access Help on classes and resources. To access Help, right-click on a component and select Help on Class.

By default, the Components window appears when you open a FRAME entry (although you can prevent this by editing the AutoOpen property for the Components window in the SAS Registry). You can also click the Components window icon on the toolbar or select View

Component Window to open the Components window.
