The Type Hierarchy window lets you inspect all subtypes or supertypes of a class.
You can open the Type Hierarchy window as pop-up window or as a window in the IDE. If you open the Type Hierarchy window in the IDE when the Include Hierarchy window is open, the Type Hierarchy window replaces the Include Hierarchy window.
To inspect all of the subtypes of a class:
The default display is a tree view of all of the subtypes of the class.
Buttons at the bottom of the Type Hierarchy window allow you to change the include hierarchy display:
