Displaying Method References, Implementations, and Messages

The Methods menu of the Class Browser, Primitive Types Browser, or Methods Browser enables you to display references to and implementations of the current method, and messages sent by the current method.

You can view:

• All references in the schema to the selected method

• All implementations in the schema of the selected method

• Interface methods to which the class method is mapped

• All local references in the current class to the selected method

• All local implementations in the current class of the selected method

• References to local implementors of a method

• Implementor references to the selected method

• Messages sent by the current method

In the References, Implementors, or Messages window, select the class or method whose references, implementation, or messages you want to view. The details of the selected method are then displayed in the editor pane. You can maintain the selected method.

For details about:

• Displaying references to interfaces, see "Displaying all References to the Selected Interface", in Chapter 14.

• Extracting a single method selected in the methods list at the top of a references window, see "Extracting a Method Selected in a Methods List", later in this chapter.

• Highlighting a method in the methods list (for example, as a reminder that more work on that method is required), see "Highlighting Methods in Lists of Methods".
