UIInspector.h file

UIInspector: a document that shows another document.

Its own window, opened with Shift+F2 in a windowed game build (or --inspect; INI DevInspectorKey = 0 turns the key off), showing the main window's document live:

Tree      every node, by type, class, and text; click to select
Pick      point at the real UI to select what is under the pointer; a press ends picking
Node      the selected node: the source line that builds it, its rect and size rules, state,
          reactions, bindings and their last values, accessible name
Style     the selected node's style: each property's value, and the rule and sheet it
          came from
Tokens    the style tokens, each editable. A change applies immediately to everything
          drawn with those styles, until Reset or the inspector closes. Nothing is saved
Counters  the document's work in the last second: components run, bindings read and
          changed, nodes laid out and repainted, publishes, inputs. All zero for an idle
          document

The selected node is outlined in the inspected document. The inspector is built from the same widgets as everything else, and reads the inspected document on the thread that updates both.

One inspector at a time.
