Access class definition files in Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge
Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge provides support
for creating new class and interface definition files (.cls) through
wizards. Class definition files are identified by an icon (document image
with small "c" inside) to differentiate class definition files from
procedure and include files. This class definition file icon can
be seen in the Resource View (Resources tab)
when navigating through project directories and in the Editor when
modifying files, as shown for CustObj.cls in the
following figure.

The Outline View (Outline tab) gives a
high level structural view of the current file being edited. The
Outline View contains special symbols and decorators to highlight
constructors, destructors, and regular methods. For example, class
members that are PRIVATE (member symbol with red
square) or PROTECTED (member symbol with yellow
diamond) are decorated to show the different access modes.
