CCS: Expand all button in expressions window?

Andy,

From what I have read Eclipse does not offer an Expand All due to challenges with self referencing structures.

One thing you can do to make it a bit faster:

1. Select the structure
2. Right arrow to expand the first level
3. There is a keyboard shortcut to select all, on Mac it is command A (if you look at the view menu you can see what it is on Windows).
4. Right arrow again to expand all of those elements to the next level.
5. Repeat if needed.

Basically Click, arrow, command-A, arrow

The expansion state should be remembered while stepping.

John

I guess now this is in stage 3(select all).

However, I only expand the selected struct but not all.

What do you mean by right arrow? Thanks

I meant the right cursor key on the keyboard.

Here is my expressions view with 2 structures in it:

I go to the Edit menu and select "Select All", could also use the keyboard shortcut

Both structures are now selected

I then hit the right arrow key on my keyboard and they expand:

If I want to expand them further I can repeat the select and expand actions:

Another nice thing is that it remembers your previous expansion. For example I can collapse the 2 structures at the top level:

And now when I right arrow it will expand to the previous level that I had (2 level expansion)

John

Andy,

We used to have links at the side of the forum for the bug lookup but they seem to have disappeared.

You can use this link. Then enter the id at the top left. It won't show up in this system until it has been reviewed which should happen tomorrow for this issue.

Regards,

John
