Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Browse menu, Which Reference command («pwbrowsewhref»)
 
     Function  Pwbrowsewhref
 
     Choose Which Reference to display the Which Reference? dialog
     box where you can choose from a list of candidate definitions
     and references for a reference to an overloaded name. This is
     useful when a member function is used outside the context of its
     definition.
 
     The browser uses the word at the cursor as the name to search on
     and displays it after the Search On label.
 
     The browser applies a heuristic (that is, it makes an educated
     guess) and lists the most likely candidates first, then the less
     likely candidates in the Possible Referands box. Items at the
     bottom of the list are probably not possible definitions or
     references for the name. Note that only references in the current
     source file are listed.
 
     Choose Goto Def or double-click an item in the Possible Referands
     list to display the Goto Definition dialog box with the selected
     name in the Name box.
     See: ◄Goto Definition►
 
     Choose Goto Ref to display the Goto Reference dialog box with the
     selected name in the Name box.
     See: ◄Goto Reference►
 
     Example
 
     When the Options function on the following source line is a member
     of two or more classes, it may not be apparent which reference is
     which.
 
          result = Options(a) + Options(b)
 
     To see the list of likely references, place the cursor on the line
     and choose Which Reference from the Browse menu.
