Introducing the Class Browser : Tasks : Viewing information in the Class Browser : Showing members
 
Showing members
Each class consists of members. The members differ as follows:
*Public members - Can be accessed by the class defining them, by any class that inherits from that class, and by other classes and procedures that reference an instance of that class
*Protected members - Can be accessed by the class defining them and by any class that inherits from that class
In addition, members can also be inherited, meaning they are available from the super class.
1. To choose which members you want the Class Browser to display, do either of the following:
*From the Content pane, right-click to see the context menu.
*From the Class Browser toolbar, click Menu .
2. Choose one or more of the available options: Show Public Members, Show Protected Members, Show Inherited Members. (All three options are initially selected by default.)
The Content pane displays only those members you have chosen to view. You cannot display private members in the Class Browser, since they cannot be used outside of the defining class.
