Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Object-oriented Programming

> ## Accessing class files using the OpenEdge Architect

> OpenEdge Architect provides support for creating new class and interface files (`.cls`) through wizards. To follow this description, see Figure 6–1. Class files are identified by an icon (document image with small “c”inside) to differentiate class files from procedure and include files. This class 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`SupportClass.cls` in the 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. Methods that are `PRIVATE` (“m” with red square) or `PROTECTED` (“m” with yellow diamond) are decorated to show the different access modifiers.
