The Call Hierarchy view presents the call tree of a function or task.

Place the editor cursor on the desired element, right-click, and choose Show > Call Hierarchy, or press Ctrl + Alt + H.

Using the buttons in the toolbar(see below), you can select the Call Hierarchy Strategy based on your needs.

The Callee Hierarchy Strategy shows method calls in the selected function or task. You can expand nodes in the tree to further inspect the hierarchy.

Note: Conditional ( if / case) and fork blocks are also shown. You can hide them using the Filters... toolbar button.

Note: To show labeled blocks in the view use the Filters... toolbar button.

Note: When calling a virtual method on a base class handle, any of the child overrides of that method may be executed, depending on the runtime object type. In addition to the method call, you may choose to see all calls from overrides, using the Filters... toolbar button.

The Caller Hierarchy Strategy shows method calls of the selected function or task.

Note: When calling a virtual method on a base class handle, any of the child overrides of that method may be executed, depending on the runtime object type. In addition to the method call, you may choose to see all method calls of the parent function implementation, using the Filters... toolbar button.

Note: When using the Caller Hierarchy Strategy, the view compacts all function/task calls from the same scope into a single node, with multiple lines specified in the line column.

If you want to see all the function calls from the same scope, you can open the Inspect Panel and select the node in the Call Hierarchy View.

Note: The same input appears in the Inspect View, if you wish to use it instead.

Tip: When using the Caller Hierarchy Strategy, if the Call Hierarchy is triggered on a field, it shows field references in functions/tasks on the first level, then method calls from the second level onwards.

Tip: Double click on any node to jump to the method call. In Caller Hierarchy Strategy the editor will jump to the first method call if multiple are available in the same scope.

Tip: Use Up and Down arrow keys to navigate the view, Left to collapse and Right to expand.

Tip: Right-click on a node to:

The Call Hierarchy view is not automatically updated at incremental build or when modifying filters.

When you decide it's time to recompute the view contents, simply click the Refresh toolbar button.

Note: Refresh may not retain the state of the method call tree.
