If the view displays a data file, you can get information reported about the current selection in the node or subnode browser as plain text.  The information displays in a dialog box like the example to the left.

The menu item Information.View Node Info shows the information about the node selected in the node browser if the node browser is the only tree control in view for a data file.  If the subnode view is also displayed, information about the node identified by the subnode browser selection is displayed.

There is significantly more information about a particular node than what can be reported on just one tree control line.  While you can customize tree control line information, such lines display best with minimal information.  Use Information.View Node Info to get a full description about a node.

Reported information will vary depending on whether the selection originated from the node or subnode browser.  Generally, the information includes node type, construct UID, construct name, child count, relative position (1-based), hierarchy level (0-based), byte size, bit size, parent information, and attributes that modify the construct type.
