include-table-of-all-instances

Arguments: object-editor

Returns whether an object-editor dialog includes a special class-grid at the bottom that lists all of the edited-instances of the dialog. The value may be set at creation time with the include-table-of-all-instances initarg or any time later by calling (setf include-table-of-all-instances). Toggling this value after creating the object-editor would create or delete the table and adjust the bottom of the dialog to make the included widgets just fit. The height of the class-grid will be the value of the layout-all-instances-table-height property.

When the table is included, it includes a grid column for each slot-editing widget that's on object-editor, using the same type of editing. The user may then edit instances in either the all-instances table or in the other widgets. Selecting a row in the all-instances table calls display-instance to display the instance of that grid row in the main part of the object-editor dialog.

This feature may be unwieldy if there are many edited instances.
