Description Jan Jancura 2004-01-27 09:23:39 UTC
Tor norbye:
-----------
I often want to look at objects to see "who" they
are. Currently, it only lists the vm id (e.g.
#1234) of the object, and I have to drill down to
find out which object I'm dealing with. I'd
like to be able to see the toString() instead (it
appears that tooltip-evaluation in the editor is
doing that). I realize you're not doing this
because calling toString may be dangerous and
certainly slow. But how about making a new
category in the column customizer (currently, it
contains name, type and value) which shows the
value with toString inlined?

I thing the way JBuilder does this is pretty nice (which doesn't
happen often): On the context menu for the variable you choose "Show
toString()" which then causes that variable's String representation to
be shown instead, without affecting any other variable.
