Cross-reference

‘Cross reference’ does not carry out a search, but lists the group of objects inside the program. This is a useful function, not only to carry out searches within GF_Project, but also to generate a project documentation draft.

• Acces to this function is possibile through the icon selecting ‘Cross reference’.
• This operation can be done on the whole project or on the single application, to select which you have to choose which one in the Subproject Combobox.

The command can be personalised using the following window: The “List also unused objects” option will list all the objects, even those that are not used. Only objects referenced by others within the application will usually be listed.The objects that can be listed within the project are:

• Pages: shows the pages and where they have been used (e.g.: a button calling them)
• Borders: shows the borders and where they have been used (e.g.: on pages or templates)
• Templates: shows the template pages and where they have been used (e.g.: on a page)
• Widgetboxes: shows the widgetboxes and where they have been used (e.g.: pages, borders, templates, wb)
• Images: shows the images and where they have been used (e.g.: pages, widgets)
• Variables: shows the variables and where they have been used (e.g.: widgets, scripts, pages, gfnet, etc.)
• Messages: shows the strings and where they have been used (e.g.: fixedtext)
• Everything: selects/deselects all fields.

In order to further complete the search there is another option:

• List also unused objects: if selected, it lists the objects defined in GF_Project even if they have not been used;

The result of the search is shown at the bottom of the page in the ‘Cross reference’ tab. As with the search, double clicking on a result will open the source in the relative point. If reference is made to a PLC or gfnet module, the relative program will be automatically opened and positioned on the corresponding point.
