SYMBOL BROWSING
The top part of the window contains an option and combo boxes that are used for filtering. The bottom part
of the window lists the symbols grouped by category. Symbols in your workspace are listed in the top group
labeled “Workspace.” The rest of the symbols are grouped by language or compiler.
Hover the mouse over the bitmap of a symbol to see a tool tip that shows the symbol’s signature and
scope. To jump to the definition of a symbol in the code, pushing a bookmark in the process, double-click
on any symbol. Press Ctrl+Comma to go back.
Filtering Symbols in the Symbols Tool Window
The symbols listed in the symbol browser can be filtered using the Class and Member combo boxes. The
Class combo box filters the items listed under the Classes folder. The Member combo box filters the items
listed under any displayed classes or under any of the other folders, like Global Variables, Static Variables,
Defines, etc. Enter multiple words in either combo box to search for items containing either word.
For example:
• Enter person into the Class combo box to find all classes containing the word “person”.
• Enter person manager into the Member combo box to find all members, variables, etc. containing
the word “person” or “manager”.
NOTES
• The filters are case-sensitive, so be sure to type the values in the same case.
• The items listed under the Classes folder are global classes that are not part of a
namespace or package.
To clear the filters and see all items again, select the Show all tags option.
For non-object-oriented languages, use the Member combo box to search, since there are no classes. You
can hide the combo boxes to save space by right-clicking and selecting Filters, then unchecking the
corresponding check box.
