[Solved] Find the callings of a procedure.

[Edson]

Is there a way to see (using Lazarus) in which points of the code a procedure or method is called ?

I, frequently, want to see the effects of modify a method, and I don't want to search in all the files of the project.


Thanks.

I don't want to search in all the files of the project.

Why not?
If you click on the method name and then Search->Find in Files... and click the radiobutton "search all files in project" you get an instant list which includes all the places at which that method is called. The list is persistent, and you can jump to any of the listed locations with a single click.

Yes. But it's like using Find in Files ... It just compares strings, it will find any string including comments, or methods of another object with the same name.

I want to find just the points of the code where a specific method of a specific class is called.

Use "Find identifier references" (you can find it in the context menu).

Thanks Martin, it works OK, but I see, it still marks the references in comments.

EDIT: I see there is an option to deactivate find in comments.  .
