How can I see the type of a property in the Object Inspector?

Question

In the form designer, I sometimes need to see the type of a property, so I know what kind of input it expects. Unfortunately the Object Inspector doesn't seem to show it.

Example:

This component clearly wants me to link a "Grid", but I have no idea what type of grid I need. TDbGrid? TDrawGrid? TColorGrid? TGridPanel?

Of course I can see this by looking into the source of the component, but does anyone know a faster way?

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any way to get at this from the Object Inspector. You can always go into the code somewhere and type JvGridFilter1.Grid and press CTRL-SPACE and see what comes up, but that's pretty much the same as looking into the code. I don't think there's any easier way to do it.

Try submitting that to QC as a feature request.
