The Widget Walker (also known as Widget Viewer and AttriVitoque) is a tool developed at Progress EMEA European Technical Support Center.
It allows you to have a clear picture of the widget used within a window, for each window in a Progress session. It uses a treeview to show all the widgets and to make you possible to 'walk' through those.
It's really effective when it is set in the proTools.
When opening the tool, the starting widget visualized in the browse is the one in which the FOCUS is on. In this browse each row you can see all the attributes of this widget with the current values and all the method for it.
So if you want information of a particular widget, you may select the widget in your application (the focus is moved on it) and after press the tool button in the Protools.
You can walk through the other widget by either using the treeview on the bottom or by double clicking on a handle attribute of the current widget pointing to another widget.
Right clicking on an row let you to change at run-time the value for the attribute or apply the method.
