Dependencies Dialogue Box

This dialogue box is displayed by choosing the View | Dependencies main menu item. It has two tabs: Depends Upon and Required By.

Depends Upon Tab

If the selected snippet has dependenciess (i.e. snippets it requires in order to compile) a tree of snippets is displayed that shows the direct and indirect dependencies. When there are no dependencies a message is displayed to that effect.

If a circular reference is detected (i.e. the snippet depends directly or indirectly upon itself) the circular reference is displayed in red and an error message is displayed. Such a dependency indicates there is an error in the database.

Required By Tab

This tab displays a simple list of snippets that immediately depend on the selected snippet. Again, if there are no snippets to list a message is displayed to that effect.
