Design

window for the filter. An example is shown below.

Figure 7-4. Example Filter States Design Window

From the

Filter States Design

window you view the entire structure of the filter. The

window shows all the filter statements and the structure of the filter. Each statement

is composed of conditions and actions to take if the condition is satisfied. Windows

are used to create/modify each statement.
Convenient buttons are available to save, create, open, load, and unload Capture and

Display filters. You can also add/delete statements from the toolbar or from the

menus. When you add or modify a statement, its associated window is displayed.
All changes and additions to the filter are made from windows. Windows appear

when you double-click on the statements shown in the

Filter States Design

window.

Keystrokes and the right mouse button in the

Filter States Design

window are also

context sensitive. For example, pressing the

Insert

key when the ROOT statement is

selected inserts a new State; pressing the Insert key on a State inserts an IF state-

ment. See Appendix C, “Keyboard Shortcuts” for a list of keystroke actions and

their results.
You can write and attach a description to a Capture or Display Filter. You can

expand or collapse states of the filter from the menus if you need more room to view

other states in the window. Collapsed states (also called branches) are surrounded by

dashed lines. The currently selected statement is highlighted with a red border.
