Using the Class List, Primitive Type List, or Interface List Window

The Class List, Primitive Type List, or Interface List window is displayed in the form specified by your Browser options; that is, it is user-specific.

The JADE default display of the Class List, Primitive Type List, or Interface List window is as follows.

• System classes or primitive types are displayed in red.

• User-defined classes that are inherited from a superschema are displayed in blue.

• User-defined classes and interfaces that are defined in this schema are displayed in black.

• Classes and interfaces imported from a package are displayed with a green foreground color.

• Classes are displayed in hierarchical order, with class nodes other than the Object class node collapsed; that is, subclasses are not displayed when the Class Browser is first opened.

• Versioned classes, primitive types, or interfaces 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 that class, primitive type, or interface.

The actions that you can perform by using the mouse from the Class List, Primitive Type List, and Interface List window are listed in the following table.

Action	Result
Click	The properties and methods provided by the selected class populate the Properties List and Methods List windows of the Class Browser. The definition of the selected class is displayed in the editor pane. When a node icon is selected, a collapsed node is expanded or an expanded node is collapsed.
	The constants and methods provided by the selected primitive type or interface populate the Constants List and Methods List windows of the Primitive Types Browser or the Interface Browser, respectively. The options defined for the selected primitive type or interface are displayed in the editor pane.
Right-click	Displays a subset of the Classes, Types, or Interfaces menu, to enable you to maintain the selected class, primitive type, or interface.
Double-click	From the Class Browser only, expands all subclasses of the selected class, if applicable.

Use the scroll bar to scroll up and down a list window, if required.

For details about defining classes, see "Adding Classes to Your Schema", later in this chapter. For details about browsing all methods in the class selected in the Class List (by selecting the Methods Browser command from the Classes menu), see "Navigating to the Methods for a Specified Class", in Chapter 2.
