You can browse by resource to see a list of assemblies, procedure libraries, or paths as top-level nodes. When you expand the nodes, the ABL packages or .NET namespaces appear as second-level nodes. Expand these second-level nodes to see the third level of contents -- the types (the classes and/or interfaces).

You are not required to have an OpenEdge project available to browse by resource, which can be helpful if you are browsing external resources.

  1. To begin, click Browse by Resource on the Class Browser toolbar. A list of top-level resources, such as assemblies, procedure libraries, and paths, appears in the Browser pane, and the Content and Summary panes are empty.
  2. You can view the second and third levels of a top-level resource in either of the following ways:
    • Click the name of the top-level resource in the Browser pane. Its second-level package or namespace nodes appear in a list in the Content pane; summary details about the resource appear in the Summary pane. Click a second-level package or namespace node in the Content pane to see details about it in the Summary pane.
    • Expand the node of a top-level resource in the Browser pane. Its second-level package or namespace nodes appear below it in the Browser pane. Click the name of the package or namespace to view a list of its classes and interfaces in the Content pane; or expand the package or namespace to view the class and interface list in the Browser pane.
  3. Click the name of a class or interface in the Browser pane to see its members in the Content pane and its summary in the Summary pane.
