instance method references [message #148069] Wed, 10 March 2004 17:01 Go to next message

If I have:

public class MyForm
{
private Label lblA;
private Label lblB;
...
}

and I want to do a Java Search for all calls to lblA.setText(), how do I
do this? The default behavior, if I cursor to an instance of
lblA.setText and do a Workspace References search (Ctrl+Shift+G),
Eclipse searches for all instances of Label.setText, which would include
lblA.setText _and_ lblB.setText, not to mention every other
Label.setText call in the entire codebase (or the entire class, which is
painful if I have 17 label instances in the one class).

I tried doing a search on MyForm.lblA.setText and MyForm.lblA.setText*,
but both searches returned nothing.

Is there a way to do what I need?

Note sure if this is the right way to do it, but if you need a quick
workaround:
Create an inner class or an anonymous class when assigning
(instantiating) your label, and override the setText() method, and
search for references.

I agree that this would be a good idea for a plugin/feature.

HTH,

It's the text search what you are looking for.
