Viewing Class Hierarchy with the C++ Class Explorer

Go Up to C++ Class Explorer Topics

You can group the classes and interfaces in your project according to class hierarchy.

To view the class hierarchy of your project

1. In C++Builder, open a C++ project that contains the 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, select the desired class or interface in the tree structure, then do either of the following:
   • Right-click the selected item and choose Group by Hierarchy from the context menu.
   • Click the toolbar button Group types by inheritance hierarchy .

In the hierarchy view, the tree view on the Type List displays indented child nodes under each class or interface.
