The Class Browser view comprises three main sections--the Browser pane, the Summary pane, and the Content pane. Like many other views, the Class Browser also includes a toolbar.

The panes display information in the following way:

  • The Browser pane displays the available resources: assemblies, Progress procedure libraries (provided they contain r-code classes), and paths.
  • The Summary pane displays a description of the selected resource, package or namespace, type, or member.
  • The Content pane displays a list of the members contained in a type (in a class or interface, for example).

From the toolbar, you can control whether the Class Browser displays information by resource or project. You can also navigate back or forward; add an external resource (such as a path, Progress procedure library, or assembly); collapse all tree nodes; and filter the member information you want to view.
