Description Andrei Badea 2007-06-25 17:17:06 UTC

I wanted to override DefaultTableModel.getColumnClass(). The dialog opened up with DefaultTableModel expanded, but the
getColumnClass() method is in AbstractTableModel. I didn't realize that and just typed "getColumnClass" trying to quicky
select the method. Finally I realized I had to expand AbstractTableModel and select the method there.

The dialog should not force me to know where in the inheritance hierarchy is the method I want to override. I just want
a list of a methods logically defined in the current class. I guess the current approach probably has some advantages.
Then please introduce something like

[x] View Inheritance Tree

or

[o] Sort by Name    [o] Sort by Defining Class

at the top of the dialog.

Just for record: Nice way how to avoid this is to invoke code completion between methods.

Comment 2 Petr Hrebejk 2007-06-28 12:23:30 UTC

I agree with the reporter. The override should rather be consistent with codecompletion way of doing it.

Using NetBeans 7.2, you can select the wished item via keyboard. BUT the selection/filter only applies to currently opened treenodes. 

PROPOSAL: When starting to filter the tree should fully expanded before. Then it should work.
