Deleting parts completely No tip for this topic No example for this topic Connect parts to add function to my application

If you delete a part then later wish you hadn't, all is not lost!

Undo options in the Composition Editor

You can use the Undo and Undo/Redo List options of the Edit menu in the Composition Editor to retrieve parts immediately after you delete them.

Retrieving parts from the library

If you saved the part before deleting it, you can retrieve it from the library:

  1. Go to the VisualAge Organizer window.
  2. In the Applications pane, select the application that contained the deleted part.
  3. From the Parts menu, select Editions > Available Part. A prompter is displayed, listing parts that you once had in the selected application.
  4. In the displayed list of available parts, select the part that you want.
  5. Select OK.
  6. A Class Editions Browser opens, listing all editions of the part. Select the edition you want to retrieve.
  7. From the Classes menu, select Load.
  8. You now have an open edition of the part in the VisualAge Organizer window.

Retrieving a different edition of the part

If you want a different edition of the part that you retrieved:

  1. Select the retrieved part in the Parts pane of the VisualAge Organizer window.
  2. From the Parts menu, select Editions > Selected Part. A Class Editions Browser opens, listing all editions of the part. The edition with an asterisk (*) beside it is the one now loaded in your image. An image provides the VisualAge development environment on your workstation.
  3. In the displayed list of editions, select the edition that you want.
  4. From the Classes menu, select Load.

You can use similar options in the VisualAge Organizer or Script Editor windows to retrieve deleted applications or scripts.
