ABSTRACT:
A method for displaying object oriented class information and content information, wherein a user interacts with an object oriented system on a computer display. The method combines a class browser and a content browser into a hybrid browser, where the class browser displays class information and the content browser displays content information. The class information and the content information are organized into a single outline control. The user is then allowed to switch between a display of the class information only, or a display of both the class information and the content information, wherein the single outline control reduces the amount of display space used.
