| <h1>Outline view </h1> |
| |
| <p>The Outline view displays an outline of a structured C/C++ file that is currently |
| open in the editor area, by listing the structural elements. </p> |
| |
| <img src="../images/outlineView.png" alt="Editor View highlighting corresponding element in the Outline View"></li> |
| |
| <p>The Outline view shows the following elements in the source file in the order |
| in which they occur:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Class</li> |
| <li>Namespace</li> |
| <li>Include</li> |
| <li>Enum</li> |
| <li>Enumerator</li> |
| <li>Field private</li> |
| <li>Field protected</li> |
| <li>Field public</li> |
| <li>Include</li> |
| <li>Method private</li> |
| <li>Method protected</li> |
| <li>Method public</li> |
| <li>Struct</li> |
| <li>Typedef</li> |
| <li>Union</li> |
| <li>Variable</li> |
| <li>Function</li> |
| <li>Macro Definition</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>You can also sort the list |
| alphabetically. When you select an element in the Outline view, the C/C++ |
| editor highlights both the selected item and the marker bar (left margin). For example, to move |
| to the start of main() in the C/C++ editor, click <samp>main()</samp> in the Outline |
| view.</p> |
| |
| <p>For more information about the marker bar, see <strong>Workbench User Guide > Reference > User interface |
| information > Views and editors > Editor area</strong>.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Filtering the Outline View</h2> |
| |
| <p>You can filter the Outline view by choosing to display or hide the following |
| items:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Fields</li> |
| <li>Static members</li> |
| <li>Non-public members</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>You can select an element in the Outline view, and perform the following actions:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Open the C/C++ Search window box. The Search string box is populated and |
| the element type is selected.</li> |
| <li>Complete a text-based search, of a workspace or a specified working set for the |
| selected element.</li> |
| <li>Open a selected .h file in the editor.</li> |
| <li>Rename Refactor</li> |
| </ul> |
