+====== Object Inspector ======
+#remarks_header[Properties]#
+<columns>
+Object Inspector contain two parts: a  combobox and the properties/styles grid.
+When a control in the active form (or the form itself) is selected in the combobox, its properties and styles show in the grid.
+Selecting a control also makes the control visible, even if it is hidden behind other controls.
+The properties and styles can then be changed.
+The properties tab shows the name of each control and its value(s).
+Clicking on the + to the left of a property name expands it to show sub-properties.
+To change the value of a property, click on its name or on its value. Depending on the type of value, one of the following happens:
+<newcolumn>
+{{  window_object_inspector_1.png|}}
+</columns>
+  * An inputbox shows: edit the value
+  * A dropdown box shows: choose a value
+  * A ... button shows: click on the button (or double-click the value) to opens the property editor for this property. Multiple values can be viewed, set or changed.
+#remarks_header[Styles]#
+<columns>
+{{window_object_inspector_2.png  |}}
+<newcolumn>
+Selecting the **Styles** tab shows the styles for the selected control. Each is shown as a checkbox.
+Some styles are disabled by Koda either:
+  * because they are not changeable by the user
+  * because they are set by other properties
+  * because Windows requires that another style be set, or
+  * because they do not work properly in AutoIt.
+An example of styles being set by other properties: the BS_BITMAP and BS_ICON button styles are set automatically when you specify an Icon.
+Some styles change automatically when another style is changed. This occurs when:
+  * a style requires that another style be set,
+  * when a style is a combination (sum) of other styles.
+</columns>
+\\
+Examples:
+  * Checking WS_MAXIMIZEBOX checks and disables WS_SYSMENU because Windows requires that if WS_MAXIMIZEBOX is specified, WS_SYSMENU must also be specified.
+  * Unchecking WS_POPUPWINDOW checks and disables WS_SYSMENU because WS_POPUPWINDOW is a combination of styles, including WS_SYSMENU.
+//Control-clicking on the name of a style copies its name and value to the Clipboard. For example, holding down the Control key while clicking on WS_MAXIMIZEBOX puts $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX = 0x10000 on the Clipboard.//
+The **Reset** button restores the styles to the AutoIt defaults.
+#remarks_header[ExStyles]#
+The ExStyles tab works the same way as the Styles tab.
+The shortcut key for accessing this window is <key>Ctrl-2</key>.
