Title : Feature requests.

Chris Monachan had requested…

           
I'd like to for instance, arrange classes by protection (private/public), but also by method/data at the same time. So I can print out diagrams with say just the public methods, nothing else.

                        In the Class Details Window you can hide members/compartments that you are not interested in visualizing. So you can hide the protected and private member. Hope that addresses your request. If I am not addressing the issue correctly please provide me an example on what you need.

Also, in terms of a planning tool, it would be nice to put in bold pure virtual functions, or somehow indicate them in the diagram.

                        This is a great suggestion. I also received feedback from other sources that they would like to see this. I don’t have this scheduled for Whidbey but will add this to our TODO list for the next release.

Amit Bahree had requested…

I would like to get some more control using the keyboard. It is a *big pain* trying to add new members using the Mouse. I would prefer something along the lines of how Rose does it where I can quickly add new members all usin keyboard shorcuts.

            Actually in my earlier posting I had sought feedback regarding making Class Details Window in C++ Class Designer read only. So if that proposal goes through unchallenged then you wouldn’t be able to add membersJ. But we had taken extensive effort to make editing the grid based tool window very easy to use. If you are still using beta1 bits please refer to this link to know about some tips on editing the Class Details Window. The tips would still be useful if you happened to use Class Designer for languages other than C++.
