Work Items Preview

The Work Items Preview component is a composite of the work item list component (Work Items) and the preview pane. (This is considered a composite, although technically it does not comprise two components that you can see in the Component Hierarchy; in this context, the preview pane is considered a component, although it cannot be installed separately.)

When a work item is selected (by single clicking) in the work item list displayed by this component, the work item summary is displayed in the preview pane. When a work item is opened (by double clicking, or selecting the Open Selected Work Items function), the work item form is displayed in the preview pane.

The Work Items Preview component displays the work item list, followed by the preview pane:

The work item list that is displayed using the Work Items Preview component also contains the Preview icon, as well as the Preview menu selections on the View menu to allow the user to display the work item form in a floating window. (Note that the Work Items component, which also displays the work item list, only opens the work item form in a floating window — it does not have the Preview icon nor the Preview menu selections on the View menu.)

Work Items Preview Component Events

None — composite components do not publish events themselves, although the individual components that comprise the composite publish events. Therefore, other components cannot subscribe to events of a composite, but they can subscribe to events of the underlying components.
