Description Alexander Ioffe 2007-09-18 14:03:31 UTC 
Consider the situation. Developer is looking on Class View
but the tab with interested class declaration is not opened or not active.

How could he know whether it has parents?
In class view we can provide small reference for the parent if it has only one parent, or expanding reference in case of
multidependency

Could you explain meaning of:
"parent" - is it logical container of the class (outer class/name space/global name space) or file?
"tab" - editor pane with class declaration?
I do not understand issue.
Provide small example, please.

no response, close

Sorry, for the delay. The idea was to provide the way, by which user can find superclass.
May be it is better to do it in popup menu with submenu in case of multiple inheritance.
Or may be it is better to create tooltip with links.
