Figure 6.86: Inspection of a window handle variable.
Handles are references to complex data structures. The handle inspect window displays the attributes and values of the selected handle variable. The values are read-only, they cannot be modified in the dialog. They are updated automatically if they change in the background.
Depending on the semantic type of the referenced data, specific inspection windows are available which are described in the following sections. Double-clicking a handle variable with no specific inspection window always opens the handle inspect window.
When inspecting handles that contain 3D object models, those can be visualized directly from within the handle inspect window by checking the checkbox next to them. This is also possible for 3D object models that are contained in, for example, dictionaries. Note that when visualizing multiple 3D object models from within a handle inspect window, all those models will be shown in a single visualization window.
