you can access the cascading class menu by clicking the right mouse button.
This menu allows you to perform a number of class-related tasks.

To access the class menu:

<ol class='a'>
<li>
Select a class in the
[[PrF_UG_classes_class_browser|Class Browser]].


<li>
Click the right mouse button.
The cascading class menu is displayed.

 <div>[[Image:PrF_UG_classes_class_menu.png|classes_class_menu]]</div>


<li>
Make your selection and click the left mouse button.

</ol>

The class menu allows you to perform the following tasks.
Not all tasks are available at all times;
tasks that cannot be performed are grayed out.

<ul class='a'>
<li>
[[Image:PrF_UG_classes_class.create.gif|classes_class.create]]
Create Class:
[[PrF_UG_classes_create_class|Creates]]
a class that is subordinate to the highlighted class.
This operation is identical to clicking the Create Class
[[Image:PrF_UG_classes_class.create.gif|classes_class.create]]
button.


<li>
[[Image:PrF_UG_classes_advanced.small.gif|classes_advanced.small]]
  Create Subclass using Metaclass...:
If you have added metaclasses to your project,
this allows you to create a new class,
subordinate to the highlighted class,
using a metaclass as a template.
See
[[PrF_UG_meta_create_class_use_meta|Creating a Class Using a Metaclass]]
for more information.


<li>
[[Image:PrF_UG_classes_class.delete.gif|classes_class.delete]]
Delete selected class:
[[PrF_UG_classes_delete_class|Deletes]]
the highlighted class and all of its subclasses,
removing it from the current project.
This operation is identical to the Delete Class
[[Image:PrF_UG_classes_class.delete.gif|classes_class.delete]]
button.


<li>
[[Image:PrF_UG_classes_advanced.small.gif|classes_advanced.small]]
  Change metaclass:
Changes the metaclass of the highlighted class.
See
[[PrF_UG_meta_change_meta|Changing the Metaclass of a Class]]
for more information.


<li>
[[Image:PrF_UG_classes_advanced.small.gif|classes_advanced.small]]
  Change metaclass of subclasses:
Changes the metaclass of all subordinate classes to the metaclass of the highlighted class.


<li>
Hide class:
Makes the highlighted class
[[PrF_UG_classes_hide_class|hidden]].
If the class is already hidden,
the selection is Make class visible.


<li>
[[Image:PrF_UG_classes_advanced.small.gif|classes_advanced.small]]
  Set as Default Metaclass:
Makes the selected metaclass the default;
that is,
new classes will automatically be created using this as a template.


<li>
[[Image:PrF_UG_classes_advanced.small.gif|classes_advanced.small]]
  Set as Default Slot Metaclass:
Makes the selected metaclass the default slot metaclass;
that is,
new slots will be created using this as a template.


<li>
Expand:
Shows all classes that are subordinate to the highlighted class.
This is a multi-level display operation that is more extensive than clicking the
[[Image:PrF_UG_all_hierarchy.collapsed.gif|all_hierarchy.collapsed]]
icon,
which only shows the next level of direct subclasses.


<li>
Collapse:
Hides all classes that are subordinate to the highlighted class.

</ul>
