Subject versatility of the Inspector From Gaetano <gaetanodd@hotmail.com> Date Mon, 26 Oct 2020 07:38:08 +1000 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Hi All, While looking at a Help entry recently I realized that the Inspector is not only available in the designers but also as a standalone command - inspect(<object>) - that can be used with any object even during program execution apparently. I had never heard anyone suggest to use Inspect(), it may be that everyone knows this and uses it or that it is one of the little known features of dBase. I have many time thought about how to get to know all the available properties or events of an object, especially after someone on the NG's told me about a property I had no idea existed, and this seems to be the answer to it. I tried it on the command line on the _app object and it returned an inspection window with a variety of info like the character set, iniFile location, currentUserPath...etc., including a custom property that I had just created to check if it would be listed. So is anyone using this regularly? and if so, in what context do you find it useful? Cheers, Gaetano.
