Expanding and Collapsing Descendants in the Object Reference Graph (Memory Profiling)

Related Topics

 

1.    In the Object Reference Graph, select the object whose referenced (descendant) objects you want to show or hide.

2.    Right-click in the Object Reference Graph and select Expand/Collapse and the appropriate command from the shortcut menu:

 

Expand Immediate Descendants

Displays the selected object's immediate descendants.

Expand Top 20 Descendants

Displays the selected object's top 20 descendants by size.

Expand All Descendants

Displays all of the selected object's descendants.

Collapse All Descendants

Removes all of the selected object's descendants from view.

Notes:

§      You can also click images\cgexp.gif to display an object's immediate descendants. Click images\cgcoll.gif or images\cgslash.gif to remove all of the object's descendants from view. Objects that aren't followed by one of these symbols do not reference other objects.

§      To show all objects in the current reference tree, select Expand/Collapse > Show All Objects from the shortcut menu. This command is disabled when all objects are currently visible.

§      To display objects with the largest amount of allocated memory, select Expand/Collapse > Reset to Top 20 from the shortcut menu. Purify resets the Object Reference Graph to display only the reference paths containing the top 20 objects in size.

§      To undo the most recent expand or collapse operation (including Show All Objects), select Expand/Collapse > Undo <Last Expand/Collapse Operation> from the shortcut menu.
