Using Quick Browse for Java Elements

When editing a Java file you can quickly navigate to methods and fields in the current file using the Quick Browse combo box on the optional Source Editor toolbar.

To use the Quick Browse combo box:

  1. Display the Source Editor toolbar. Choose Tools and choose Options and expand the Editing node. Then select the Java Sources node and set the Show Editor Toolbar property to True.

    The Source Editor toolbar is displayed when you are editing a Java file.

  2. Select the method or field you want to jump to in the Quick Browse combo box in the Source Editor toolbar.
Tip You can configure the display format for the elements in the Quick Browse combo box in the same way you configure the format of Java elements in the Explorer. For example, you can optionally display method parameters.

See Configuring the Display Name Format of Java Elements for information.

After you change the display name format, close and reopen the Source Editor window to see the new formats in the Quick Browse combo box.
