Going to a Symbol

See Also

The Go to Symbol dialog box lets you find a symbol such as a function, constant, or variable by its name or prefix. The search is performed on all open projects.

To go directly to the declaration of a symbol, do the following:

  1. Choose Navigate > Go To Symbol.
  2. In the Go to Symbol dialog box, type a character string or a regular expression in the Symbol Name field. Classes, structs, enums, functions, unions, and namespaces that match the string are displayed in the Symbols Found list.
  3. You can constrain the search by selecting the Case Sensitive check box.
  4. Select an item in the Symbols Found list and click OK, or double-click the item. The Source Editor displays the declaration of that symbol.
