Navigate > Visit Ada Name

Note: This command is only available for Apex Ada and Apex Duo.

The Navigate > Visit Ada Name command displays Ada units that contain the specified Ada name. The results are displayed in either an editor window if a single match is found or a viewer window if more than one match is found. This command brings up the Visit Ada Name dialog box.

Visit Ada Name Dialog Box Fields:

Apex Ada names consist of two parts: an Ada name and a context.

Ada Name Field

In the Ada Name field, enter the Ada name you want to visit. Ada names can specify any Ada object including unit name (such as Text_Io), subprograms (Text_Io.Put_Line), variables (Text_Io.Close.File), and subprogram parameters (Text_Io.Put_Line.Item). The name can contain the wild characters asterisk (*) or at (@). The at is allowed for compatibility with the Compile > Complete command.

Context Field

In the Context field, specify a search context. The context can be the name of a view or a configuration file. If a view is specified, the view and all of its imports are searched. If a configuration file is specified, all views in the configuration file are searched.

Specifying a configuration file is particularly useful from the debugger windows. When this command is executed from any debugger window, the Context field defaults to the configuration file used to link the program currently being debugged. This configuration file may be different than the imports.

Always Generate Check Box

To force the display of a viewer window, select the Always generate a summary display check box.

The viewer window displays all units sharing that Ada name. You can double-click on an entry to visit that unit.
