Browse Project commands - Go To Definition
The 'BrowseProject' plug-in provides commands (category 'Browse Project') for
browsing the project in order to get information about the dependencies resp. the "call
tree" etc. of a POU or a variable currently selected in an editor window.
By default these commands are available in the 'Edit' menu, submenu 'Browse'. To re-
organize the menu structure please use the Customize dialog.
Go To Definition
Symbol:
This command (category Browse Project) can be used when the cursor is currently
positioned on an identifier in an editor window. It will browse the project for the line
or POU, which contains the "definition" of the corresponding POU or variable and will
open the respective POU in an editor window.
The command corresponds to the "Zoom" (to POU) command available in »PLC
Designer« V2.3 and can be used in offline and in online mode. If applicable, the 'Select
Online State' dialog will be opened, where you can decide whether to open the online
or offline view of the POU and - in case of function block instances - whether you want
to view the instance or implementation.
Examples:
The following POU contains a function block definition ("fbinst"), a program call
("prog_y)" and a function block call ("fbinst.out"):
VAR
fbinst:fb1;
ivar:INT;
END_VAR
prog_y();
ivar:=prog_y.y;
res1:=fbinst.out;
If you put the cursor on "prog_y", the command will open program "prog_y" in its
editor window.
If you put the cursor on "fbinst", the command will set the focus up to the declaration
window to the line "fbinst:fb1;"
If you put the cursor on "out", the command will open function block "fb1" in its editor
window.
