The Query Editor is where you create and run queries. A query is basically a request to display a subset of information in your project. You can create very specific queries when looking for particular objects, or more general queries to find all sound objects in a particular platform, for example.
All project elements that match your query criteria are displayed in the Results list. When you select an entry in the Results list, it automatically gets loaded into the Transport Control and is ready for playback. You can right-click a selection of entries in the Results list to access a series of commands, such as Edit, Multi-edit, Show in Schematic View, and Convert. You can double-click an entry in the Results list at any time to display it in the Property Editor. You can also drag project elements from the Results list to the Project Explorer. For example, you can drag one or more sound objects from the Results list into an Actor-Mixer or container within the Project Explorer.

In the results, when multiple items are selected, modifying a property (slider, combo or checkbox) will affect the whole selection and set the object's value to all other objects in selection. However, when holding the Alt key and dragging a slider, the selected objects values will be offset instead of being set to an absolute value. |
