TObjectInspectorFrame Class

The Object Inspector is the connection between your application's visual appearance and the code that makes your application run.

TObjectInspectorFrame = class(TFrame);

The Object Inspector enables you to: 

 

  • Set design-time properties for components you have placed on a form (or for the form itself).
  • Filter visible properties and events.

 

The object selector, or instance list, at the top of the Object Inspector is a drop-down list containing all the components on the active form and it also displays the object type, or class, of the selected component. This lets you quickly display properties and events for the different components on the current form. 

 

You can resize the columns of the Object Inspector by dragging the separator line to a new position. 

 

The Object Inspector has two pages: 

 

  • Properties page
  • Events page

 

Object Inspector tabs provide a means to switch between the Property page and the Events page of the Object Inspector. To change pages, click the Properties or Events tab. 

 

You can display and filter properties and events by category. By filtering the properties, you can reduce the number of properties visible in the Object Inspector and focus on those which are primarily of interest at the time. You can also more easily locate related properties by viewing them by category. For example, when localizing your application for other countries, you can display only properties that need to be localized by unchecking all categories except Localizable. See Property and event categories in the Object Inspector.
