Abstract:
1. A computer-implementable method for viewing properties of objects, comprising processing logic used for: receiving user input data to select a first object and a second object within a graphical user interface (GUI) of an integrated development environment (IDE), wherein processing of said user input data places a cursor in a position proximate to said first object; generating a pop-up window adjacent to said cursor position, wherein said pop-up window is associated with the position of said cursor within said GUI; determining a first set of properties associated with said first object and a second set of properties associated with said second object; and displaying said first set of properties and said second set of properties in said pop-up window; wherein said first set of properties and said second set of properties are concurrently displayed in said pop-up window as said cursor is moved between said first and second objects.
