Thank you Andy, this looks useful. I can't *actually* get it to function
(it will only inspect views contained within its own windows for some
reason), but I'll talk to the F_Script guys about that.

I took a look and realized I should have pointed you specifically to F- Script Anywhere, under the Extras directory. It's an app that allows you to add an "FSA" menu to a running application. Make sure you see the note in the "Read Me" about installing FScript.framework. Also I had to run the Terminal commands in "How to install.txt".


Having done those two things, launch F-Script Anywhere and specify what app to hook into. If that succeeds, go to that app and under the FSA menu select "Browser for Target...". The cursor will change to a crosshair allowing to select a window that you want to inspect. You'll get a browser window that lets you inspect the window's ivars. It also lists all the messages it responds to and allows you to send any of those messages.

I don't want to drag this thread too far from the original question, so if you want to follow up you may want to start a new thread or, as you say, take it elsewhere. Note that the above is everything I know, I'm not an F-Script expert.
