This invention relates to a method for viewing, writing, and modifying source code in an integrated development environment (IDE). When source code is being edited in a graphical environment, windows in the development environment display the code structure of a project allowing for the visualization of the relationships between components of the project. This invention discloses a system and method that permits editing to be performed directly in the graphical environment where the code structure is being displayed. In the preferred embodiment, editing of the source is performed directly within the graphical environment where a hierarchical model of the code structure of a project at various levels (module, class, function, etc.) is displayed.
