HP UX SoftBench Software manual Reusing Tool Windows, Copying Data between SoftBench Tools

Maximizing Your Results with SoftBench

Using the SoftBench Integrated Environment

without access to project data, tool interactions may behave unpredictably.

Recommendation: Even if you want to use only one or two SoftBench tools, launch the tools from the SoftBench main window.

Reusing Tool Windows

Within a single project, you can start only one instance of some tools and multiple instances of other tools. For example, within a project, you can open only one instance of SoftBench Static Analyzer, but you can open a different instance of SoftBench Debugger for each executable target in the project.

If you prefer to see only one instance of a tool, change the data on which the tool operates from within the tool itself. For example, in SoftBench Debugger choose "File: Unload Executable" to unload the current target, then choose "File: Load Executable…" to debug another program.

Copying Data between SoftBench Tools

SoftBench shares internal project definition data across all the tools for you. At times you may want to copy some information from one tool's screen to another tool's input box. You can do this using the clipboard.

To copy information to the clipboard:

1.Select the text using the left mouse button and dragging across the text.

2.Press Control-Insertto copy the text to the clipboard.

To paste information from the clipboard to an input field:

1.Position the mouse cursor within the input field and click the left mouse button.

2.Press Shift-Insertto paste the text from the clipboard.
