NAME

Object::EditSource - instance method

TEMPLATE

void EditSource(bool showDefinitionFile)

SPECIFIERS

public virtual

DESCRIPTION

This method brings up the Source Code Browser of the ET++ Programming Environment showing the source code of the receiver's class. The Source Code Browser shows the right source file only if the class desriptor is present for the receiver's class.(see technote Metaclasses).
Theoretically, an other source editor than the one provided by the Programming Environment could be invoked by EditSource if overridden, but there are no good reasons to do so, as far as the authors see.
See also method Inspect. Method is rarely overridden.

ARGUMENTS

bool showDefinitionFile: If it is TRUE, then the definition file of the class of this object is shown; otherwise the implementation file

RETURN ARGUMENT

void

FIRST DEFINITION
