<h1>Outline view </h1>
<p>The Outline view gives you a language-based structural view of your C/C++ source code. </p>
<p>The Outline view shows the following elements in the source file in the order
in which they occur:</p>
<ul>
<li>C or C++ file</li>
<li>Class</li>
<li>Namespace</li>
<li>Include</li>
<li>Enum</li>
<li>Enumerator</li>
<li>Field</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 Struct</li>
<li>Type definition</li>
<li>Union</li>
<li>Variable</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 jump
to the start of main() in the C/C++ editor, click <samp>main()</samp> in the Outline
view.</p>
<p>For more information on the marker bar, see <b>Workbench User Guide &gt; Reference &gt; User interface
information &gt; Views and editors &gt; Editor area</b>.</p>
<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 do the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Open the C/C++ Search dialog 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>
</ul>
<p>For more information on:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Eclipse workspace, see <b>Workbench User Guide &gt; Tasks &gt; Upgrading
Eclipse</b></li>
<li>Working sets, see <b>Workbench User Guide &gt; Concepts &gt; Working sets</b></li>
</ul>
