The gbCodeLib snippet database is displayed in a hierarchical Tree format - consisting of Languages, Categories, and Snippets.

Any number of languages, categories or snippets may be displayed. When gbCodeLib starts it reads the database and creates the Tree structure. Languages and categories do not have to be pre-defined. gbCodeLib will create the structure as it finds it in the database. gbCodeLib is case-insensitive with respect to language and category titles.

Tree elements may be added or deleted using toolbar, menu, or context menu options. Editing of Tree element titles can be done in place within the Tree or in the edit box to the right of the Tree.

Selecting a Tree element (Language, Category, or Snippet) results in a display (to the right of the Tree) of information about the element. If a Language or Category is selected, summary information is presented. If a code snippet is selected, its title and source code are displayed.

Right-clicking on the Tree will call up a context menu. The options displayed depend on the type of currently selected element (Language, Category, or Snippet):
