The
StarTeam Items pane in the embedded client enables you to work with
StarTeam. You have access to the File, Folder, Change Request, Requirement, Task, Topic, and Audit tabs - all within the
Visual Studio environment. Additionally, you can use the context menus in the Detail, History, Label, Link, and Reference lower pane tabs.
The context menus found for these lower pane tabs are identical to those found in the
StarTeam Cross-Platform Client.
When working in the
StarTeam Items pane with files, change requests, and so on, your most commonly-accessed items reside in the toolbar.
Note: When opening a file from within the
File tab of the embedded client,
StarTeam tries to find this file in your solution. If the file is found, then it opens automatically in
Visual Studio. If the file is not in the solution,
StarTeam checks the file out to a temporary location, opens it as an external file, and displays the revision number. Such temporary
files that you open are automatically deleted when you exit
Visual Studio.
Using the toolbar in the embedded client, you can:
- Show all descendants in a folder.
- Refresh the folder hierarchy or item list.
- Create, edit, freeze, unfreeze, attach, detach, or delete view or revision labels.
- Compare file contents (File tab only).
- Show a list display (Requirement, Topic, and Task tabs only).
- Show a tree display (Requirement, Topic, and Task tabs only).
- Create folder and item shortcuts.
- Select a filter from the list of available filters in the combo box.
- Use the context menus in the Detail, History, Label, Link, and Reference lower pane tabs.
