You can't. ObjectUtil.toString() will only trace out the public properties, there is no way to get access to private properties. If ObjectUtil.toString() is showing you the values you wish to use, then they are public. You can use describeType(obj) to see more detailed information about an object, but again, no access to private properties.
This is generally a good thing, but in your case, if there's something the API doesn't allow you to do, your best bet is to contact the creators of the API. -Nick On Nov 20, 3:01 pm, jakemiles <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all.
