<h2><a name="about"></a>XML Schema Editor: About the Schema View</h2>
samaresh@338

<p><small><a href="#seealso">See Also</a></small></p>
samaresh@338
    54
<p>The Schema view allows you to visualize and edit an XML schema in a scalable fashion. The Schema view is the view that opens in the Source Editor when you first double-click a schema file node in the Projects window.</p>
samaresh@338
    55
<p>The Schema view has the following parts:</p>
samaresh@338
    56
<ul>
samaresh@338
    57
<li><b>Editor toolbar.</b> The Editor toolbar is located at the top of the view, just below the tab for the XML schema file. 
samaresh@338
    58
<ul>
samaresh@338
    59
<li><b>Navigation buttons.</b> The Source, Schema, and Design buttons let you switch to those views of the XML schema.</li>
samaresh@338
    60
<li><b>View buttons.</b> The Schema view has two subviews: the tree view and the columns view of schema components. The columns view is the default view. To switch between the columns and tree views, use the columns&nbsp;<img src="../images/button_colview.png" alt="Columns button">&nbsp;and tree&nbsp;<img src="../images/button_treeview.png" alt="Tree button">&nbsp;buttons in the editor toolbar.</li>
samaresh@338
    61
<li><b>Validate XML button.</b> Click this button, <img src="../images/validate_xml.png" alt="Validate XML">, to validate the XML in your schema. </li>
samaresh@338
    62
</ul></li>
samaresh@338
    63
<li><b>Breadcrumb area.</b> This area appears immediately below the Editor toolbar when you are using the columns view of the Schema view. This area allows you to retrace your steps by clicking a breadcrumb. The first entry in this area is always labeled &quot;Schema&quot; for the root of the schema. 
samaresh@338
    64
<ul class="note">
samaresh@338
    65
<li>If the entries extend beyond the visible area, the IDE enables the scroll buttons (<img src="../images/buttons_scrollbreadcrumbs.png" alt="Scroll buttons in breadcrumbs area">) so that you can continue to navigate through the breadcrumbs.</li>
samaresh@338
    66
</ul></li>
samaresh@338
    67
<li><b>Schema content area.</b> This area contains the columns view or the tree view of the XML schema components. The nodes in both views let you drill down into the schema. Each folder node represents slices of the schema, such as attributes, complex types, and elements.
samaresh@338
    68
<ul>
samaresh@338
    69
<li><img src="../images/button_colview.png" alt="Columns button">&nbsp;<b>Columns view.</b> In this view, the Schema content area initially contains one column. Each time you select a node that has children, another column is added to the right of the column where you made your selection. The nodes that have child nodes are indicated by a black arrow next to the node in the column. If a node has no child nodes, that arrow is light gray.</li>
samaresh@338
    70
<li><img src="../images/button_treeview.png" alt="Tree button">&nbsp;<b>Tree view.</b> In this view, the Schema content area contains one tree view of the XML schema. You can drill down on schema components by expanding the nodes.</li>
samaresh@338
    71
</ul></li>
samaresh@338
    72
<li><b>Find bar.</b> Use this bar to quickly find components in a schema. You can use the Find Next and Find Previous buttons to cycle through matching components. See <a href="usingfind.html" title="XML Schema Editor: Using Find in the Schema View">Using Find in the Schema View</a> for details.</li>
