Inspector
The Inspector displays the constructor parameters, properties and events
of the selected object in the Designer or DataView. It also displays the
parent child relationship of container controls when appropriate.
The selected object can be changed in the Parent view.
When a property is selected in the inspector, an associated Property Editor will open
in the Inspector for that property. The most common type of editor is a text control used
for editing strings and other builtins.
Pages
These are the pages in the inspector:
Constructor |
Parameters for the constructor of the object. Some of these parameters
are also accessable at run time and these will reflect changes at design-time.
Other parameters like for example Style will only reflect changes
the next time the frame is recreated from source, so don't worry if you
don't see your changes immediately. This will change in the future. |
Properties |
This is usually the list of Get* / Set* methods an object supports.
Additional properties may be defined in a objects Companion class. |
Events |
This page is divided in three parts:
Categories (top left) |
Logical groupings of related macros |
Macros (top right) |
Event connection functions of the form EVT_* |
Definitions (bottom) |
List of defined (connected) events for the selected control. To delete
select (delete) from the drop-down and it will be deleted on posting of
the frame. |
|
Parent |
This page shows the parent/child relationship of container
controls. By selecting a different item the Inspector and the Designer
will change their selection to the newly selected item. |
