Displaying Graphs from ClassView

Home | Overview | How Do I | Tutorial

From ClassView, you can display graphs showing the class derivations and the function-calling order in your application.

Note If you have not built your application with the option to build the browse information file, a message box appears, asking if you want to build the browse information file. If you click Yes, it builds the browse information file, and you can then find references. If you click No, the references are not available. Building a browse information file increases your build times.
