Configuring the Instance List

You can add and remove columns from the Instance List. You can also resize the widths of the columns and the way they are sorted when viewing.

To add and remove data elements in a Memory Leak Detector table:

1. Click the Table Settings button.

   The Table settings dialog box appears.

2. Select or deselect the values you want to add or delete in the table by clicking the check box next to the value's name.

   When you select a value, the Minimum width and Weight fields and the Initial sort order check boxes open. These fields allow you to reset properties for the selected value.

3. Click OK.

To reset properties and change sort order in a table:

1. Click the Table Settings button.

   The Table settings dialog box appears.

2. Select the property you want to set.

   The Minimum width and Weight fields and the Initial sort order ascending fields become active.

3. Do one or all of the following:

   • Enter a new Minimum width for the column. Setting this width too wide might cause other columns to truncate. You should anticipate how wide the data string might be (or what its maximum width potentially could be) and set the width to accommodate it.

   • Enter a new Weight. A column's weight determines what percentage of the total table width should be allocated to that column; for example, if the table has three columns with the weights 15, 15, and 30, the first two columns will each use 25% of the total table width and the third one will take 50% (this example assumes that no column is less than the minimum width). The purpose of the Weight field is to allow column widths to adapt to the screen resolution if space is available. Increasing the weight of a column will make that column take up a larger part of the available screen space.

   • Deselect the Initial sort order ascending if you do not want the table to be sorted on the selected value, or select the Initial sort order ascending if you want the Live Threads table to be sorted on that value.

4. Click OK.
