Yeah, it makes sense, and I wanted that too. Unfortunately the Runtime object supplies you with the given object's ID and class, but it doesn't give access to the object itself or any of the object's other attributes. It would be nice if there was a method you could use that you could pass the ObjectID to and get back the actual object (or rather, a Variant containing the object). On the other hand, if you actually used that in a LeakCheck module, you'd be creating additional references to the object, possible creating memory leaks! Caveat coder. ;)

It's not an insurmountable obstacle; I suppose I could put in a feature request. [Opens RS Feedback in another window...]

The only objection that I have to that is... this would provide access to objects that are Protected or Private in scope and might be problematic for those that sell encrypted REALbasic solutions and possibly REALbasic plugins as well.
