Tips and How-to Articles for ApexSQL Tools


How do I restore the original layout of my application's interface?

Introduction
The layout of the interface of your ApexSQL tool can be customized to your liking. For example, you can move toolbars around or hide them. You can also change the dimensions of your dialogs. When you make changes like these, how do you restore your layout to the original settings? That is, how do you make your application look as it did when you initially installed it?

The file called layouts.xml stores your application's layout. This file can be found on your application's installation folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\ApexSQL\ApexSQLDiff2008\layouts.xml). The following are stored in this file:

- Whether your application window is minimized or maximized when you start your application
- Dimensions of your application window and dialogs
- What toolbars and menus are displayed
- and more.

When you exit the application, Layouts.xml is saved.



How do I restore the original layout of my application's interface?
So to restore the original layout, do the following steps:

1) Close the application.
2) Go the application's installation folder.
3) Delete layouts.xml.
4) Start the application.

The layouts.xml file will be re-created and your interface will be restored to its original settings.
