Common Web Publisher Buttons
The OpenROAD Web Publisher contains buttons that are available on all tabs. You use these buttons to maintain the XML project file, build the CAB and HTML files, and provide the user with help and status information about the project and use of the application. The buttons appear dimmed if the operation is not applicable based on the project status.
Status icon
Displays the current status of each tab:
• No exclamation point indicates that the information on this tab is complete.
• A warning symbol indicates that there is missing or incorrect information on the tab. Clicking this icon provides additional details on the status of the current tab.
New
Creates a new XML project file. A file selection dialog lets you navigate the directory structure. When a new file is entered, default values are loaded into the MakeCAB utility based on the contents of the makecab.ini file.
Open
Opens an existing XML project file. A file selection dialog lets you navigate and select an XML project file. The contents of the XML project file are loaded into the MakeCAB utility. The window title changes to reflect the currently open project file.
Save
Saves the current project to an XML file. A file selection dialog lets you navigate the directory structure and name the file. This button is active only if changes are pending on the current project.
Save As
Saves the current project as a new XML project file. This operation is convenient when duplicating existing projects. A file selection dialog lets you navigate the directory structure and enter a new file name.
Build
Builds the CAB and HTML files for 4GL Control projects, or builds the CAB file for 4GL Library projects. This button is active only when the project contains all the required information. If there are pending changes in the project, you first must save the project to keep the project file in sync with the HTML file.
Exit
Exits the MakeCAB application
