The Members tab is displayed for those elements that contain child elements (or members), which are accessible from their owner. It displays all the children of the selected element. Using the Members tab, you can:
Open member elements
Add new elements
Add existing elements to folders
Delete member elements
View a filtered list of members and their properties
The Members tab also displays the method members and their parameters. This enables you to view the structure of the method.
If you right-click anywhere on this tab you can add new items or add existing items to folders. You can also open, delete, and edit attributes of member items.
Note: To maintain optimal performance in the development environment, it is recommended to keep open only the important panes. Due to the dynamic nature of the panes, having too many open panes may degrade the performance when updates are made.
Inherited Members
You can choose to show, or hide members that are inherited from other members. To change this option, from the Filter Definitions dialog box. When inherited, members are displayed in a different color to distinguish them from normal members.
Objects
Objects are displayed in the Members pane as an expandable list. Members of objects cannot be sorted, but can be rearranged by dragging and dropping, or by changing the sequence numbers in the property window.
To add an element to an object without opening it, right-click the element and select Add New Item to <selected item name>.
Filters
The Members tab contains a Filter toolbar from which you can specify the members to be displayed. The Default filter displays all members.
Click the Customize Filters toolbar button to display Filter Definitions dialog box and create customized filters.
