Find Function/Method/Procedure dialog box

The name of this dialog box changes depending on what you are debugging. The name of this dialog box may be Find Function, Find Method or Find Procedure. Select the appropriate dialog box:

 

Find Function dialog box

Use the Find Function dialog box to find the start of a function in your program. Only object files, DLLs, or shared libraries that the debugger is aware of can be searched. Shared libraries, DLLs or executables that will be called by the program you are debugging, but not yet loaded, cannot be searched.

Controls and control groupings are described below. Group and subgroup names appear in italics, and control names appear in bold.

Enter the function to be searched for Enter the name of the function you want to search for.
Case sensitive search If checked, a function is found only if both text and character case are matched.
Debugging information only If checked, only files containing debugging information will be searched for the function.
Push-buttons
OK The source for the object file containing the selected function is opened in the Source pane and the line containing the found function is indicated by an arrow (nbexept.gif (78 bytes)) in the prefix area. The Find Function dialog box closes.

Note: On AIX or Windows, if no debug information is available in the object file containing the function, and Debugging information only is unchecked, a disassembly view of object file will be opened in the Source pane. An arrow (nbexept.gif (78 bytes)) in the prefix area of the Source pane will indicate the start of the function.

Cancel Closes the Find Function dialog box without finding any occurrences of the available functions.
Help Displays this help panel.

If multiple functions with same name are found, the Available Functions dialog box opens, listing all functions sharing that name. Select the desired function from that list.
