The Usages window opens at the bottom of the IDE to display the results of the Find Usages command. The window opens a separate tab for each usages search. Each tab contains a tree view of the file names and the lines of code for the usage found in that file. By default, the physical view of the usage tree is displayed.

The search results are displayed incrementally. The top line shows how many occurrences have been found and how many are filtered out by your selections in the Find Usages dialog box. You can click the Stop button on the left to discontinue the search and keep the results already displayed in the window.

Double-click a usage line in the Usages window to go to the corresponding line of code in the Source Editor.

Buttons at the left side of the Usages window allow you to change the display:
