Running an API query based on the source code identifier

A convenient way to run an API query is to start it directly from your source code. You can use any of the following identifier types as criteria:

To run a query using an identifier, do the following:

  1. Select the identifier name or part of the name from the code.

    Tip: with the Header Name type, it is enough to place the cursor on a line that has a valid #include directive, or select multiple lines.

  2. Right-click the selection and from the pop-up menu, select API Query followed by the identifier type.

    The API Query view is opened, if not already activated, and the selected identifier is copied into the Search string field. The query is carried out automatically and the found matches are displayed in the Search results list.

  3. Select the API of your choice from the list to view its details.

    The information is retrieved into the API details table.
