Field Nodes in the Explorer

For each of your source files, the Explorer displays all field objects as field nodes under the Fields () category node. Property information about each field is presented in its icon and badge in the Explorer and in its property sheet. Each node's contextual menu contains commands that you can execute on the field or on the entire class.

You can view a field's property sheet by right-clicking its node in the Explorer and choosing Properties. You can edit the field's properties in the property sheet itself, or by right-clicking the field node and choosing Customize. The node's contextual menu also contains commands for copying, cutting, pasting, and deleting the field.

The node's contextual menu also contains a Tools submenu. Any commands you choose from the this submenu are executed on the entire class.
