Viewing Members Declared in Classes and Interfaces with the C++ Class Explorer

Go Up to C++ Class Explorer Topics

Classes and interfaces appear automatically in the C++ Class Explorer.

To view members of classes and interfaces

1. In C++Builder, open a C++ project that contains a managed unit (paired .cpp/.h files) that defines the classes and interfaces you want to examine.
2. Click View > C++ Class Explorer.
3. After the Type List (left-hand pane) is populated, click a class or interface in the tree structure.
4. View the structure of the project in the three panes as follows:
   • The Type List displays a view of the types or classes in the project. You can group items in the Type List in the following views (using toolbar buttons or context menu commands):
     • File
     • Namespace
     • Custom group
     • Inheritance hierarchy
   • The Member View displays the members of the class or interface currently selected in the Type List.
   • The Source/References/Graph Window displays:
     • Source tab: The source location of the declaration of the class or interface (read-only mode).
     • References tab: The source line number associated with the following (for the element selected in the Type List):
       • The definition, when available:
       • The declaration:
       • References: ()
     • Graph tab: The graphical inheritance relationship between multiple selected classes or interfaces.

The Source/References/Graph Window is read-only mode. To edit the source, right-click the desired item in the Type List, and select either Go to declaration or Go to definition on the context menu.
