Is there a way to jump to implementing classes in delphi RAD Studio?

[dummzeuch 1517]

This is why we need a forum that is not StackOverflow:

 

Is there a plugin for delphi IDE for doing the following: Jumping from interface to implementing classes.

for example in JIdea Java IDE you can easily point to an interface and see all implementing classes and select to which class you want to jump. It is currently very annoying that Ctrl+Click on a method goes to the interface where the method is declared and there is no easy way to find classes implementing this method. The only option I know is search.

 

Voted down and probably will be closed shortly because:

Maybe somebody here can help?

Not sure  about the direction this question is actually heading, but does the structure view help?

This is something I'm also really missing.

Because there is no central registry for implementors (as long as I know), there is no way to achieve this easily.

You can search for references and jump to any places where the interface type is used included the implementing class

MMX Code Explorer shows "Related Classes". When called from inside an interface it shows the implementing classes with navigation on click.

After Years of using MMX, learning something new today.......
Thanks

What is the CodeCoverage source from?  Is it part of MMX?

[Uwe Raabe 2064]

It is a separate plugin I wrote a few weeks ago and I am going to use it as an example for my ToolsAPI session at EKON: Die Delphi ToolsAPI am praktischen Beispiel (in German)

 

The current plan is to publish the sources afterwards.

I think cnPack offer this feature, if I understood you right:

Can you tell which classes it considers? For example I have the interface unit in a package and many different DLL projects that implement this interface but not all of them or even none is being opened in the IDE. Is there the possibility to tell the plugin to consider certain directories with sources in them?

Without cross-checking the actual sources to make sure: If you enable Pre-parse Project Files and Persistent Module Information, it should be sufficient to open the relevant projects once to get the necessary information.

 

Currently there is no way to specify some directories to scan as that is most likely a per-project setting. As MMX just recently added some per-project settings stored in the dproj file, there is a good chance for such a feature to be implemented in the future.

Did you know that this Java IDE can do the same thing for Pascal code too? After installing a plugin for Pascal support of course.
