So I’m a dinosaur. I don’t care if I’m not one of the cool kids. I like component view, I started with component view, I’m comfortable in component view and I get the “flow” of component view.
Of course I’m using page designer, but when things get “buggy”, I switch in dinosaur-modus.
And than there is Apex 5.1….
Where is my component view?
First, there is Two pane mode
For me that is a big step in the right direction. I’m not always in the position to ask for a 24″ monitor for development. So, less is more in this case.
And look
Component view!
But it’s not the same. This Component View imposter doesn’t give me the original page for e.g. a region. It jumps to the right section of the page-designer.
Not fair! That’s cheating! …. given that it is also very handy and perhaps my new MO.
But look in the upper right corner.
Here you can set some developer specific preferences, like
This will change the original panel to
Legacy, deprecated, whatever. It’s still there.
Like I said, I will be using Two Pane Mode as default with component view as my prefered way of developing (it could be nice if I could set this somewhere in my preferences),
but it’s comforting to know I can still switch “back”.
I had the same problem with APEX 5.1! Thank you for sharing this useful information!
Documented limitations of dinosaur-mode include no IG or JET editing. http://docs.oracle.com/database/apex-5.1/HTMRN/toc.htm#HTMRN-GUID-4A51E7B5-D675-4AE5-958B-5EDDDE16D99B
yeah, I know, I know, but please let me enjoy my shortcomings 🙂
Yes, we all used to play with dinosaurs. Follow the avian line to page designer and fly 😉
Mind you crocodilians are still going strong!
Thanks for your post…i’m a component view user too !!!
Oh, thanks God I’ve found it ! thanks Edwin, very helpful article !
Who ordered pizza?
The new Page Designer sucks but still the legacy Component View is not the initial cool stuff – i am not impressed on this component change…regards
