the current class is displayed at the top of the view window.

If you are not currently in a class (or enum or interface), the hierarchy pane is blank and the members
pane shows the symbols in the current file. The name of the current file is displayed at the top of the view
window.

Hover the mouse over the bitmap of any item in the hierarchy or members panes to see a tooltip that
shows the symbol’s signature and scope.

To show or hide the hierarchy pane, use the two buttons located at the top-right of the view window. If the
hierarchy pane is hidden, the members pane is resized to take up the entire space of the window. Use the
size bar to resize either pane.

Use the Up/Down buttons located to the left of the pane buttons to navigate up or down the class hier-
archy. The Up arrow button will allow you to navigate to a child class (derived class or subclass) of the
current class. The Down arrow allows you to navigate to a parent class (superclass or interface) of the
current class. When using these buttons to navigate through code, the active buffer will switch to the des-
tination class, and the hierarchy and members panes will update.

To jump to the definition of a class in the code, pushing a bookmark in the process, double-click on any
member or class. Left-click or press Ctrl+Comma to go back.

Filtering in the Hierarchy Pane

Right-click on a class in the hierarchy pane to display a list of filtering options. You can exclude entire
namespaces or packages, anything above a certain level in the hierarchy, and anything outside of the
current workspace. You can always include any class(es) you have excluded via the "Include" options.

By excluding a class or interface in the hierarchy view, the members of this class or interface are no
longer displayed in the members pane, but they are still visible in the hierarchy as gray text.

Select Show in Symbol Browser to jump to the class in the symbol browser.

Class Exclusion Manager

The Class Exclusion Manager, accessed by right-clicking on a class in the hierarchy pane, displays a list
of any currently excluded classes, interfaces, namespaces, and packages. Exclusions are kept on a per-
workspace basis.
