Object Inspector In Rap

rbuser

Hi,

I would like to add an object inspector to my rap editor. Before
I take the time to do this I was wondering if this was on a list
of future features.

Thanks,

Joseph Gordon

It isn't on the ToDo list to be implemented in the near future. I can see
that would be more useful in the Designer, to edit properties and create or
jump to a RAP event handler from the Design tab for any published event of
an object in the report. Currently in RAP, there is the Code Toolbox, which
shows the available methods and properties in the objects view of the
toolbox. Perhaps, if you show both properties and events in the report
designer OI, clicking an event in the RB OI it would jump to RAP, create an
event handler for that event. You would still then want to use the Code
Toolbox to drag the field to the code editor so you don't have to type so
much.

To implement the object inspector, you'll need to use RTTI as well as RB's
proprietary RTTI classes declared for the report component library.

Hi,

I understand that you don't provide source code for the RAP part
of rbuilder (a situation that makes me really nevous, especially in
light of the turbopower sudden demise) but it would be nice if you
provided source for some of the user interfaces that are on the Code
tab. This would allow you to keep the compiler but allow others to
customize the user interface more easily.

I have been able to add some events to the popup menu on the
designer screen. This has been a big help. I am hoping to go a
bit further by putting in an OI.

Thanks,
