Object Debugger for Borland Delphi 3
Copyright Marco Cantu' 1996-1997

Version 1.1 

(most of the source code is included in the book
Delphi Developer's Handbook, Sybex)

Object Debugger = Runtime Object Inspector
==========================================
The Object Debugger allows you to inspect the published 
properties of the components of a program at run time, 
and edit them. You simply place the component on the main
form of your project, and when the program starts, 
the Object Debugger window is automatically opened.

Usage 
=====
* Select form and component you are interested in
(also the form is listed among its components), and see
its published properties, its events, and some mode data.

* Clicking on the first line shows RTTI information for
the last property you've selected.

* Clicking on a value activates its editor (if available).
Editors include: numbers, strings, characters,
enumarations, sets, cursors, colors (double-click),
string lists (double click).

* The only property of the component is used to set it 
initially "Always on Top".

Installation
============
Install the Delphi package library, and put the DCU file and 
the DFM file in your preferred component directory. 

Disclaimer
==========
I've tried at my best to make this program work smoothly, but 
since it uses low level and undocumented calls at a great extent
I won't bet it always works.
In case of errors please let me know, but always remember you
are using this software at your own risk (so the saying goes).
