Creating an object using the Object Builder

The Object Builder lets you define the title, picture (icon), double-click actions, and drag-and-drop actions associated with a Desktop object.

There are two ways you can use the Object Builder to define an object. You can:

• use an existing object as a template for defining a new object by opening the object, modifying its definitions, and then saving the object under a new name, or

• open a new, undefined object and install a picture and action definitions separately

To use the Object Builder, open the Controls window and double-click on the Object Builder icon.

When you start the Object Builder, you see the following:
