Details

The Type Hierarchy View lets you inspect the object-oriented inheritance tree of a class and its members.

Start in the DVT editor. Right-click on the name of a class and select Show Type Hierarchy. You can also use the F4 keyboard shortcut.

The upper part of the Type Hierarchy View gets populated with the instance tree, made up of all the levels of parent and child classes. You can use the toolbar buttons to toggle between:

  • Showing the full inheritance
  • Parents only
  • Child classes only

Inspect the fields and methods of a class in the lower part of the view. You have the option to:

  • Filter out members based on their type.
  • Toggle between showing all members and showing only public members.
  • Show predefined members and inherited members.
