In a complex project, it is possible to have many different relationships between classes, instances, and slots. The References window allows you to view a list of all the frames that reference a value.

Note: For classes, it is also possible to view those classes that are related through one or more slots. See Viewing Class Relations for more information.

"References to ..." dialog, "name" selected

Viewing the References Window

To open the References window:

  1. Highlight the item for which you wish to see a list of references. Make sure to go to the correct location:

    • For a class:

      1. Go to the Classes tab.

      2. Highlight the item in the Class Browser.

      3. Click the View References to Class (classes_class.view_references) button.

    • For an instance:

      1. Go to the Instances tab.

      2. Highlight the class where the instance appears in the Class Browser.

      3. Highlight the instance in the Instance Browser

      4. Click the View References to Instance (instances_instance.view_references) button.

Viewing the Editor for a Reference

To open the Editor for any of the frames shown in the References window:

  1. Click on the frame to highlight it.

  2. Click the View Reference (all_object.view) button.

Viewing References to a Value

To view the references for any of the frames shown in the References window:

  1. Click on the frame to highlight it.

  2. Click the View References to Value (all_object.view_references) button.

For example, clicking on Content in the above window and then clicking View References to Value (all_object.view_references) would show the references for Content. This allows you to view references to a slot.
