<h3>Interactive ECB commands</h3>
<p>ECB offers a lot of interactive commands. Some of these commands
prompt the user in the minibuffer if called with a prefix argument.
<p>Example: If <code>ecb-clear-history</code> is called with a prefix argument
then you will be prompted in the minibuffer with:
<br><pre>Clear from history: [all, not-existing-buffers, existing-buffers]
</pre>
<p>You can choose one of the options enclosed in brackets with
TAB-completion; hitting RET direct after the prompt chooses auto. the
first offered option (in the example above "all").
<p><strong>Please note</strong>: The following interactive commands of ECB are
listed without the prefix "ecb-" (e.g. the command
<code>ecb-activate</code> is listed with name "activate"). This has been
done for a better readable command index. See <a href="Command-Index.html#Command%20Index">Command Index</a>.
<p>
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td align="left"><b>activate</b><i>
</i></td>
<td align="right">Command</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="95%" align="center">
<tr><td>
Activates ECB and creates the special buffers for the choosen layout.
For the layout see <code>ecb-layout-name</code>. This function raises always
the ECB-frame if called from another frame. This is the same as
calling <code>ecb-minor-mode</code> with a positive argument.
</td></tr>
</table>
<p>
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td align="left"><b>add-all-buffers-to-history</b><i>
</i></td>
<td align="right">Command</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="95%" align="center">
<tr><td>
Add all current file-buffers to the history-buffer of ECB. If
<code>ecb-sort-history-items</code> is not nil then afterwards the history
is sorted alphabetically. Otherwise the most recently used buffers are
on the top of the history and the seldom used buffers at the bottom.
</td></tr>
</table>
<p>
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td align="left"><b>change-layout</b><i> &optional preselect-type
</i></td>
<td align="right">Command</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="95%" align="center">
<tr><td>
Select a layout-name from all current available layouts
(TAB-completion is offered) and change the layout to the selected
layout-name. If optional argument PRESELECT-TYPE is not nil then you
can preselect a layout-type \(TAB-completion is offered too) and then
you will be asked only for layouts of that preselected type. Note:
This function works by changing the option <code>ecb-layout-name</code> but
only for current Emacs-session.

Set the expand level of the nodes in the ECB-methods-buffer.
<p>This command asks in the minibuffer for an indentation level LEVEL. With this
LEVEL you can precisely specify which level of nodes should be expanded. LEVEL
means the indentation-level of the nodes.
<p>A LEVEL value X means that all nodes with an indentation-level <= X are
expanded and all other are collapsed. A negative LEVEL value means all visible
nodes are collapsed.
<p>Nodes which are not indented have indentation-level 0!
<p>Which node-types are expanded (rsp. collapsed) by this command
depends on the options <code>ecb-methods-nodes-expand-spec</code> and
<code>ecb-methods-nodes-collapse-spec</code>! With optional argument
<var>FORCE-ALL</var> all tags will be expanded/collapsed regardless of
the values of these options.
<p>Examples:
<ul>
<li>LEVEL = 0
expands only nodes which have no indentation itself.
<li>LEVEL = 2
expands nodes which are either not indented or indented indented once
or twice
<li>LEVEL ~ 10
should normally expand all nodes expect there are nodes which are
indented deeper than 10.

<p>Note 2: All this is only valid for file-types parsed by semantic. For

buffers not supported by semantic but by imenu or etags.
<p>Examples when a call to this function can be necessary:
<ul>
<li>If an Elisp-file is parsed which contains in the middle a defun X
where the closing ) is missing then semantic parses only until this
defun X is reached and you will get an incomplete ECB-method buffer.
In such a case you must complete the defun X and then call this
function to completely reparse the Elisp-file and rebuild the ECB
method buffer!
<li>For not semantic supported buffers which can be parsed by imenu or
etags (see <code>ecb-process-non-semantic-files</code>) because for these
buffers there is no built-in auto-rebuild mechanism. For these buffers
this command calls <code>ecb-rebuild-methods-buffer-for-non-semantic</code>.
</ul>
<p>For non-semantic-sources supported by etags the option

height of the compile-window is always the current value of
<code>ecb-compile-window-height</code>! If called and
<code>ecb-compile-window-height</code> is nil then ECB asks for the height
of the compile-window, sets this height as new value of
<code>ecb-compile-window-height</code> and displays the compile-window (so
if you have called this command by mistake and you do not want a
compile-window you have to quit with <C-g>).
