Inspect View shows detailed information about various elements in DVT.

Open the view from menu Window > Show View > Other... > DVT > Inspect.

To inspect an element, simply select it in a view or click on its name in the editor.

Information about the selected element will be presented in the view.

Each element shown in the Inspect View starts with an information line regarding the file and line number of the element.

The Inspect View highlights the relevant source code lines of the selected element. These lines may be surrounded with additional source code to provide a context, if necessary.

You can customize the number of lines shown by going to Window > Preferences > DVT > Maximum Inspect View context lines, or by using the key mappings detailed in the Hotkeys chapter below.

For convenience, you can see the Inspect View embedded in diagrams by clicking the Inspect Panel... button in the toolbar.
