Distribution:
This code was downloaded from:
the LAVA CR

Description:
A custrom probe to put on a variant.
It will create a tree based on the variant data, and populate the tree with the data, the attributes of the variant will be shown as well. Historical data is available as well.

Installation method 1:
Install the VariantProbe_1.2-3.ogp using VIPM (www.jkisoft.com/vipm)

Installation method 2:
Place the VariantProbe.llb inside one of the following dirs:
-\_probes
-\Probes

and you have a custom VariantProbe.

Don't forget to remove the old version manually if needed!

To use it add a probe to a variant datatype or to an array of variant's.

It can pause if the data changes, and will notify you if a change happens.

Known issues:
Is slow on large variants because of the use of the tree control and the recursive listing of a Variant just takes time.
