To expand a category node, click the plus sign (+) next to the node. To collapse a category node, click the minus sign (–) next to the node.
You can select all object types within a category by selecting the check box at the category node level, whether or not the node is expanded. You can also select one or more individual object types within a category, after you expand the category node, by:
- Selecting the category node check box, which selects all object types within that category, and clearing the check box for each object type you want to exclude
- Clearing the category node check box, which clears all object types within that category, and selecting the check box for each object type you want to include
To begin tracking the creation and destruction of the object instances for the object types you selected, click the Start Monitoring button. Then, use the View Objects tab to monitor the active object instances. An active object instance is an instance of a dynamic object the application has created, but not yet destroyed, since you started or restarted monitoring.
