The Outline view shows the structure of the code in the ABL Editor buffer that currently has focus, and provides an easy way to navigate to specific places in the code. The elements inside the inactive preprocessor regions appear in gray in the Outline view. This is similar to include nodes but without the include decorator.
If the Outline view is not visible in your current perspective, open it by selecting .
The Outline view supports the following navigation techniques:
- Click an element labeled in black type of position the cursor at the declaration of that element. Black elements are declared in the current file.
- Double-click a black include file name to open that include file.
- Double-click an element labeled in gray type to open the include file and position the cursor at the declaration of that element. Gray elements are declared in include files.
