Saving View Settings on the C++ Class Explorer
Go Up to C++ Class Explorer Topics
You can set view parameters on the Class Explorer toolbar or on the Class Explorer (C++) dialog box. Clicking OK on the dialog box saves your view settings for the next time you open the C++ Class Explorer.
If you click Cancel on the dialog box, your view settings are not saved, and the next time you open the C++ Class Explorer, all the view settings are their original default values.
- Open a C++ project that contains classes and types, such as a C++ Windows VCL Application.
- Click View > C++ Class Explorer. The C++ Class Explorer parses your project and then populates the three panes in the window: Type List, Member View, Source/Registers/Graph tab. See the window in C++ Class Explorer Overview.
- On the toolbar, select a sorting algorithm for the Type List:
- To sort by types, click
- To sort alphabetically, click
. (Alpha sort is the default.)
- To sort by types, click
- On the toolbar, select a grouping algorithm for the Type List:
- To not group types, click
. - To group types by inheritance hierarchy, click
. - To group types by namespace, click
. - To group types by file (.h or .hpp), click
. - To group types by custom group, click
. (Custom group is the default.)
- To not group types, click
- On the toolbar, select the elements you want to show in the Type List:
- To show typedefs, click
. - To show enumerations, click
. - To show functions, click
. - To show variables, click
. - To show inheritance hierarchy, click
. (Inheritance hierarchy is the default.)
- To show typedefs, click
- To save your current settings, click OK on either of these dialog boxes:
- View > C++ Class Explorer
- C++ Class Explorer Properties dialog box, invoked from the context menu on the C++ Class Explorer
Note: The set of view settings that are saved includes settings from the toolbar as well as settings on the dialog boxes listed above (Two show settings, Show enumerations and Show variables, exist both in the toolbar and on the dialog boxes). If you never click OK on either dialog box (or if you click Cancel on either dialog box), the current settings are not saved.
