The "Object Inspector" window allows to explore and edit the properties of objects. Objects are here TPersistent descendants like a TForm or a TButton or a TOpenDialog.

On the top there is a tree showing the components of the currently edited designer form (or datamodule or frame or whatever).

The biggest part of the Object Inspector are the 3 property grids called 'Properties', 'Events' and 'Favorites'. Each property grid show a subset of the published properties of the selected components.

The Object Inspector is a useful tool for debugging your own programs. How to add the Object Inspector to your own programs is demonstrated in examples/objectinspector.
