You can also selectively delete your saved searches or use the GF Janitor to automatically delete old ones.
- More powerful filter options � You can filter on secondary matches in the code "in the neighborhood" (that is, in the same statement or same procedure) of the original match; the filter form has been re-organized to provide clarity; and filters can be combined using logical operators AND or OR.
- Handling of PRG-based classes � Special attention has been paid to matches in PRG-based classes, which now are treated as much as possible like VCX-based classes. Their names appear in the "Class", "Base Class", and "Parent Class" columns in the grid and also in the new category "Classes" in the Treeview.
- Treeview changes � There are a few new categories: "Classes", "Menus", and "Projects". The "Classes" category, unlike all the other categories which have files as sub-nodes, has classes as sub-nodes.
- Column Changes � There are two new columns, "Parent Class VCX" and "Containing Class"; the column headings for some of the other columns have been reworded; and the contents of some of the class-related columns have been enhanced.
- Plug-In to control the grid display � You can set the use the plug-in to set the Dynamic* (or any other) properties of the grid. The sample provided changes the colors used for each row.
- Other UI changes � There are many, many other UI changes, including the ability to select the location of the Code View window relative to the grid.
