Opening the Class Browser

You should still have the Hierarchy Browser open. After looking at the overall class hierarchy, let's now browse the members (the internal structure) of an individual class of a project. We will use the class named

Browser as a test case. To open the Class Browser with the member information for the class named Browser :

Click into the Class List and type

br
The focus is set to Browser .
Choose Context menu > Browse Browser.
Note that you can open the Class Browser from any tool where you can select a class by clicking on the class and then choosing the Browse ClassName command either from the right-click Context menu or from the Class menu.
The Class Browser opens to show you the members of Browser .

The Class Browser is very similar to the Symbol Browser in layout. But, instead of a Project Tree, there is an Inheritance Tree at the bottom of the tool. The essential handling concepts of Lists, Trees and Filters, however, stay the same in all the tools.
The Member List in the Class Browser also has (often a combination of) icons; the color tells you about member visibility:

- public -- yellow
- protected -- blue
- private -- dark gray

For a description of the icons, choose Help(?) > Quick Ref
