Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for improved correlation between source code in a source code view pane and a corresponding control in a graph view pane in an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is presented. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of receiving, from a user of a source code view pane, an entered name of a type of control that is to be modified in an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), wherein the control is displayed in a graph view pane of a Graphical User Interface (GUI); in response to a hyperbutton being activated, displaying a mini-GUI in the source code view pane, wherein the mini-GUI displays all controls that have the entered name as part of their source code; and in response to a selection of a selected control in the mini-GUI, dismissing the mini-GUI and pasting, in the source code view pane, a name of an actual source code object that, when executed, displays the selected control in the GUI.
