                   5.1   Overview: Working with Classes

Magic C++ provides you with simple and powerful ways to work with your application classes. WizardBar and ClassView are tools that give you visual access to the classes and members in your project.WizardBar and ClassView both enable you to jump easily back and forth between your code.

How WizardBar and ClassView Compare

ClassView and WizardBar complements each other¡¯s functionality in many ways. However, one distinction between them is that WizardBar provides immediate access to members of one class at a time, while ClassView displays all classes in all projects on the current workspace. Similarly, WizardBar displays, tracks, and acts on only the active project, while ClassView displays and acts on all projects on the workspace.

Unlike ClassView, WizardBar has the ability to track and display your current location in code. While you can use both ClassView and WizardBar to jump directly to code in the Source editor, once you¡¯re there, the WizardBar continues to update its display as you move around within a file, or from file to file. This provides you with immediate information about your location, without having to scroll through the code itself.

You can Jump to interface definitions, or to definitions of methods or properties within an interface from ClassView, but not from WizardBar:
