The banners
The software banner :
The software banner is common to all the Windows applications, it contains :
The application name and its associated icon (TopSolid in our case).
The current application type (TopSolid/Draft, TopSolid/Draft, TopSolid/Mold, ...).
The document name.
The document status (if this one is current).
The current document design mode (Associative, Free, ...).
This banner can have different colors depending on whether the application is active or not. It also allows you to modify the display mode of the software window.
The document banner :
For multi-document applications like TopSolid, there is a second type of banner, the document banner. Each document you open in one of the TopSolid applications gives you the opportunity to choose between several display modes. In the total mode, the display of information of the document title bar (document title) is done in the software title bar.
To make current another document, it's advised to click
with the right mouse button in the banner of the document that you want
to make current.
The banner can contain very important information about your document :
All modified
documents contain an asterisk in its banner. That allows to quickly
see which documents you have modified since last saving the file. 
When a document contains one (or several) invalid element(s), a ?
character is displayed in its banner. You can display and modify these
elements with the symbolic tree by editing the INVALID
ELEMENTS SET .
When a document contains one (or several) element(s)
on which the insertion cursor have been pulled down, a !
character is displayed in its banner. You can display and modify these
elements with the symbolic tree by editing the SET
OF ELEMENTS IN INSERTION .

symbolic tree" chapter
