About COMponent Workspace


About COMponent Workspace

Display system, version and distribution information about the COMponent Workspace.


COMponent Workspace Basics

The COMponent Workspace is an executable (V3WSPMCP.EXE) that allows you to access all of the COMponents that you have installed from one convienient location.

The modular design of COMponents allows any combination of modules to be installed at any one time.  The COMponent Workspace is aware of which modules are installed and will allow you to access any COMponent module directly from within the Workspace.

As with all other COMponent modules, the Workpsace has two User Modes:  Novice and Advanced.  When in Novice mode only one button bar is available, certain menu options are not available, and only one window of any COMponent module may be open at a given time.


COMponent Workspace Environment

The COMponent Workspace application allows you to access all installed COMponent modules from one application.

All of the functionality of each COMponent module is available to you when run from within the Workspace.  After opening COMponent windows you may switch from COMponent to COMponent simply by making its window the active window.  When the active window changes, the entire environment of the Workspace changes to make it look like you are actually running the COMponent module in stand-alone mode.  For example, if a FAXCOMponent window is made the active window, all menus, toolbars, and help files will be changed to the FAXCOMponent.  As you switch from COMponent module to COMponent module, the entire environment of the Workspace changes as well.

Like other COMponent modules, the Workspace allows you to create any number of windows within its workspace.  This capability is called the “Multiple Document Interface” and is a standard user-interface model which is used in many other Windows applications and should be famailiar to the Windows user with only a small amount of experience.

The “Multiple Document Interface” (MDI) is a powerful user interface model that allows you to open more than one document, in this case, fax file, cover page or header, simultaneously.  This makes is easy to switch between different files quickly and allows for quick transfer of data from one document to another.

The COMponent Workspace is automatically configured to “remember” the position and information contained in the documents you have open when you close it down.  Moreover, when you restart the application, the previously opened documents will be automatically re-opened for you.  You can turn this capability off in the Workspace dialog from the Options menu.

As with the other COMponent modules, the COMponent Workspace contains a Tools menu and an Options menu that are always available.  The Tools menu, among other things, provides access to showing and hiding toolbars.  The Options menu can be used to alter settings related to the COMponent Workspace itself, such as the Workspace settings described above.
