How can I pop up Webkit’s Web Inspector from my WebView object programmatically?

I succeed to enable Webkit’s Web Inspector on my WebView.
It’s working well, and now I can pop it up by clicking “Inspect Element” on context menu.
And I want to do this with my push button. But I couldn’t find a proper way to do this.
My DOM knowledge is 10 years old, very newbie on HTML DOM of nowadays.
Is there any way to do this?

I found a class document: InspectorController. I think this is a kind of key. But I cannot know what object exposes and how can I use this.

Environment:

  • Mac OS X 10.6
  • Xcode 3.2.1 (iPhone SDK, no plug-in)

    There is no public API for interacting with the WebInspector via the DOM or Cocoa. You should file an enhancement request at https://bugreport.apple.com/ asking for this API.

    InspectorController is also an internal implementation detail of the WebInspector and its likely a bug that its on the documentation website.
