Find member variable using Locator in Qt Creator

Question

Qt Creator has the Locator box, which allows you to easily find classes, methods, etc. Is there a way to use it to find class member variables, as well?

Using . <expr> will show member variables too, but that is only for searching inside the current file, not globally.

This the Locator:

Answer 1

By default, there is not such feature, but as said in the doc you can create a filter (I can't test it now, but I'll try this soon):

To create a locator filter:

1. In the locator, select Options > Configure to open the Locator options.

2. In the Filter Configuration dialog:

   1. Name your filter.
   2. Select at least one directory. The locator searches directories recursively.
   3. Define the file pattern as a comma separated list. For example, to search all .h and .cpp files, enter *.h, *.cpp
   4. Specify the prefix string.

3. To show only results matching this filter, select Limit to prefix.

4. Click OK.
