Re: Object Inspector

Hi Thomas,

Are you sure it is failing with the OI? If the SomeObject property
is read-only, you must be creating the object the property refers
to somewhere, which creates another MyObject, which creates
SomeObject, etc, etc. If it is meant to be a reference to
another TMyObject, there must be a write somewhere.

the SomeObject property is read-only but its value is set by
another procedure local to the TMyObject class [I am sorry I left
that info out, but I was trying to simlplify]

My real issue is when some/all these references are *circular
references*.

Don't get me wrong, having circular references isn't a bad thing
in my app --on the contrary, they are there by design-- and the
app works as expected with circular references.

It only becomes an issue when I need to use an OI.

I need an OI simply to check and see (and modify when needed)
that the object cloud I have set up has the correct data and
is pointing to correct objects etc.

Basically --in my case-- what I need is an OI that does not
try to be as clever.

IOW, if I could instruct the OI to recurse only to a certain number
of levels, life would be fine.

I have been able to do this with Jedi's JvInspector and it works [I have hacked/modified the OnBeforeItemCreate()]

The trouble with JvInspector is that (apart from the source) it is
undocumented which means I have to spend a disproportionate amount
of time to get it to do other things I need done.

If it is a reference, then the OICS from my company
(http://www.riversoftavg.com/object_inspector.htm)
works with the following code

I have looked at your page. There are a number of issues I have there:

i) The demo/evaluation version is v1.16 while the latest advertised version (on product page) one is v1.3. There seems to be quite a
number of versions since the eval product released. I would be likely
to misjudge (pr waste my time with) an old 'model'..

ii) More importantly, your page states that "The evaluation version is limited to showing top-level properties".. in this case i am likely not
to see whether it works in my case at all.

Could I try out a newer version that goes beyond top levels (BTW, if you intend to send me a compiled copy, do not use the email address in this post, it is a spam-catch address only)

Cheers,
Adem
