Displaying the Class Editor
You view or edit an existing class using the Class Editor.
Note: If the class is a system class or has been included from another project, it cannot be edited. Included classes are shown with a pale class icon to the left.
Whenever you enter changes into the Class Editor, they are immediately visible everywhere in the project. To write the changes to disk, select File | Save Project.

Select the class you want to edit in the Class Browser in the Classes Tab.
