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.
