ECB is a global minor-mode which offers a couple of ECB-windows for browsing your sources comfortable with the mouse and the keyboard.
ECB offers some basic ECB-windows to browse your sources:
See Basic ECB-windows for a detailled description what these basic ECB-windows offer. See ECB-windows for a general introduction in the ECB-window-concept of ECB.
In addition to these “special” ECB-windows you have always an edit-area where you can edit your source-files. The edit-area can be divided into several edit-windows - as many as you need (see The edit-area). And at the bottom of the ECB-frame a persistent compilation-window (also called compile-window) can be displayed (optional), where all the output of Emacs-compilation (compile, grep etc.) is shown (see Temp- and compile-buffers).
The following “screenshot” illustrates the typical layout of the ECB-frame1:
