Viewing the Object Hierarchy
The Object Browser displays a hierarchical list of the objects
in the figure, including both components and menus. As you lay out
your GUI, check the object hierarchy periodically, especially if your
GUI contains menus, panes, or button groups. Open it from View > Object Browser or by click the Object Browser icon
on the GUIDE toolbar.
The following illustration shows a figure object and its child
objects. It also shows the child objects of a uipanel.

To determine a component's place in the hierarchy, select it
in the Layout Editor. It is automatically selected in the Object Browser.
Similarly, if you select an object in the Object Browser, it is automatically
selected in the Layout Editor.
