The Code View Panel
The Code View panel shows all code files that can be generated by FLUID.
The Code View window can be activated via the main menu: Edit > Show Source Code . FLUID will remember the state and dimensions of the Code View panel.
If the Auto-Refresh option is selected, the code views will be updated automatically while editing the project.
Code View has four tabs. The first tab shows the source code. Inlined data is omitted in the code view for brevity.
The second tab shows the content of the header file. The size of inline data is not calculated and shown as -1.
The third tab shows the list of labels and tooltips as they would be written to a translation file, using the selected project internationalization method.
The fourth tab previews the contents of the .fl project file.

code...: choose the type of code that is highlighted. In source files, static code is generated by Menu Items, code refers to widget creation code, code1 is the part before possible children, code2 is code generated after children. In header files, static highlights #include statements generated by a widget, code refers to the widget declaration.
