How to exclude inherited members from Microsoft online api/class documentation


When browsing Microsoft class documentation, I would like to be able to hide inherited members (i.e. inherited properties and methods). Often, I find myself looking at intermediate abstract base classes to see what specific functionality they add, and I "can't see the forest for the trees" - as the handful of new methods/properties introduced by that particular class get lost amongst them many methods/properties inherited from base classes.

For example, see this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.scrollablecontrol?view=netframework-4.7.2

It is difficult to see just the methods specific to ScrollableControl.


Solution

  • Click on the 'triangle' to the left of Scrollable Control at the left side of https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.scrollablecontrol?view=netframework-4.7.2 (under the Search box).

    Click Fields / Properties etc (on the left side - not on the right). They are the fields / properties etc that are specific to ScrollableControl.
