It does.  Take a look at the latest 2.8.2.0 preview build and type F6 in =

the demo.  The code is here:

I've also attached a screenshot.

InspectionTool also includes a PyCrust with a 'obj' variable set to the =

widget or sizer selected in the tree, and there is a panel that shows =

the common properties for the selected item.  In addition there is a =

Find tool on the toolbar that will let you click on some widget in the =

app and have it selected in the tree for you.
