Show Attribute Names and ValuesThe Command Button Bar is a visual element of the LEX browser. You find
all click buttons here for the handling of the three main panels of the LEX window:
Please note that the command button bar consists of three sub-bars, one for the tree
view panel, one for the object list and
one for the attribute list. If you configured
the position of the attribute list to be at the bottom of the window, you have to keep in mind
that the command buttons for this list is on the right side on the top:
If you chose to hide the treeview panel or
to hide the attribute list,
you don't see the regarding buttons in the command button bar.
Here comes a list with short descriptions for all the command buttons. Detailed annotations can
be obtained in the command button reference.
If you want to hide the command button bar to have a more basic GUI view of the LEX, you can
hide it with the menu option View - Tool Bars - Button Bar.

as well as to the attribute list. The values are shown as their hexadecimal values OR as their
corresponding ASCII characters.
The Set

display. This display can be filtered with LDAP
filters. If a filter is active, this button blinks to attract attention.
