The Methods List window is displayed in the form specified by your Browser options; that is, it is user-specific. The JADE default display of the Methods List window is as follows.
System methods are displayed in red. (You cannot modify system methods.)
User-defined methods that are inherited from a superschema are displayed in blue.
User-defined methods that are defined in this schema are displayed in black.
Methods, both JADE and external, are displayed in alphabetical order.
Methods imported from a package are displayed in green.
All public, protected, and read-only methods are displayed.
Conditions have the Condition symbol displayed to the left of each condition name.
Versioned methods have a light green background and an unfilled left arrow on the icon indicating the current version with which the system is running or a bright green-filled right arrow on the icon indicating the latest version of the method. (No arrow is displayed on method icons when a schema is not versioned.)
The actions that you can perform by using the mouse from the Methods List window are listed in the following table.
| Action | Displays… |
|---|---|
| Click | The JADE method code for that method in the editor pane |
| Right-click | The Methods menu, to enable you to maintain a method or add a new method |
| Double-click | A new free-standing editor window for the current method |
Use the scroll bar to scroll up and down the Methods List window, if required. For details about defining methods, properties, constants, and conditions, see Chapter 4.
To toggle the display of the Methods List in the current browser (that is, override the Show Methods check box value in the Browser sheet of the Preferences dialog), select the Methods Window command from the View menu. (For details about method options, see "Maintaining Method Options", in Chapter 2.)
