When you have generated your cross-reference information, you can access information from the Application Object Tree (AOT), or from the Tools menu.
-
Use the AOT to view cross-reference information for a particular object.
-
Use the Tools menu for an overview of information about all objects.
If you right-click on an object in the AOT and select Add-Ins > Cross-reference, there are a number of options:
|
Option |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Used by |
Displays the objects that use the current object. |
|
Using (instant view) |
Displays the objects that the current object uses. |
These options are not available for every kind of application object. Options can also be absent if the cross-reference system does not exist or is out of date, or if, for example, the object is not used by any other object.
The following options are available from Tools >Cross-reference:
|
Option |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Names |
Lists all the objects in the cross-reference system, with the number of references in the cross-reference system. You can use the form to see which objects use a particular object (used by a button). |
|
Paths |
Shows the location in the AOT of all objects in the cross-reference system, the number of references, the time when the cross-references for an object were last updated, and whether the object is still valid (deleted objects are not automatically removed from the cross-reference system). You can use the form to see which objects a particular object uses (Using button). |
|
Reports > Names/Uses |
Generates a report about objects in the cross reference system to show: object names, object types and paths, and the type of action on the object (for example read, write, declaration, definition, or call). Tip
To avoid generating a huge report you should always select criteria. You can interrupt the report generation with CTRL+BREAK.
