The first row is the list of object references that the object inherits from. Clicking on any of these will take you to the reference for that superclass. The second row lists all the protocols that the object conforms to so you can see which methods are implemented due to those protocols. The rest of the table shows you which framework the object is defined in, which header file defines it and lists otherguides of interest related to the object.Yes, I know, but that's of limited use. For example, when I'm scanning the document (or using Find) to learn about scrolling a text view, I look for something under the Tasks section on scrolling. Oh, I spotted "display", but that didn't have anything for scrolling. Let's try searching for "scroll". Nope, the word is used in the rulers section, but nothing about scrolling the text.If at least the inherited action names were reproduced in that file, I would've come across several scroll-related actions. A click could've taken me to the other doc.Instead, I have to do multiple searches, potentially in more than one additional doc to get somewhere. And for some reason, I always forget to do that, so I go to the list.
Ah, I see what you mean... whereas the Java docs show the actual inherited methods and such on the subclass's doc page. I usually search in the Xcode window and do it that way, so I guess I didn't really think about it.
