Using SoftBench Class Graph/Editor in Your Work

Member Functions" or "Show → Data Members" from the popup menu.

Once you have selected the desired component, choose "Edit: Modify…", or press the right mouse button and select "Modify…". A dialog box similar to the corresponding "create" dialog box appears. Modify the desired information and select OK.

You can also edit the source for the object by double-clicking on the object, or by pressing the right mouse button and selecting "Edit Source". Remember that you must save any changes you make in the editor, and they clear the SoftBench Class Graph/Editor "undo" history.

You can modify the properties of an inheritance relationship (such as public or private) by selecting the inheritance arc, but you cannot change the base or derived class. To do this, you must delete the arc and create a new inheritance relationship.

You can change the name of a class or member. SoftBench Class Graph/Editor updates all references to the class or member to use the new name, even if the name is referred to in many files. SoftBench Class Graph/Editor changes only the proper references to the name, not references to other variables with the same identifier.

"Edit: Undo", if active, "undoes" the most recent edit from the edit history stack. You can use this repeatedly to "walk" back through your history of editing changes.

Deleting Existing Components

Select the component you want to delete. For member functions and data members you must first display the contents of the desired class. Select the base class, press the right mouse button, and select "Show → Member Functions" or "Show → Data Members" from the popup menu.

Once you have selected the object to delete, press the right mouse button and select "Delete" from the popup menu. You can select and delete multiple objects of the same type simultaneously.
