NAME

Object::InspectorId - instance method

TEMPLATE

void InspectorId(char * displayedName, int maxSize)

SPECIFIERS

public virtual

DESCRIPTION

InspectorId sets displayedName to a value that will eventually be displayed by the tools of the Programming Environment as an additional information when presenting the receiver to the user, e.g. in a list box of the Inspector. Objects of the same class can therefore be easily identified by the user, provided the displayedName's are meaningful.
The default implementation sets displayedName to "". There is no need to override this method (but it is a good good idea).

See method Document::InspectorId, method TextItem::InspectorId, method Collection::InspectorId for interesting examples. Method is often overridden.

ARGUMENTS

char * displayedName: a null-terminated string
int maxSize: the available number of characters in displayedName inclusive the terminating zero character
