The Visual Designer perspective gives you a handy way to set up your workspace with maximum space allotted to the tools that you typically use most while working on an OpenEdge GUI for .NET project. It includes a large editing area, which displays the Toolbox and Design Canvas along with any other open file buffers (such as the ABL Editor tab for the class source code). It also includes a window with tabs for the Properties view and the Resources view. This window is vertically maximized to display as many control properties as possible without requiring scrolling.

In addition, the default Visual Designer perspective includes a Fast View shortcut to open the Class Browser.
