Properties Window

Most objects and object elements that are represented by nodes in the Projects
window have properties that can be viewed in a property sheet. The Properties
window displays the property sheet for the currently selected node in the
Projects window. To open the Properties window, choose Window > Properties.
When the Properties window is open, it displays the names and values of the properties of the currently selected node in the
Projects window. Depending on the type of object selected, you might see additional tabs for distinct categories of
properties.
Editing Properties in the Properties window
You can edit the values of most properties in the Properties window.
To change a property value, click the property's value field. The appearance
of the field changes depending on the type of value required:
- If a string value is required, the field becomes a text field. You can type the new value directly in
this field and press Enter.
- If a specific list of values is allowed, a drop-down arrow appears. You can click this arrow and
select the value from the combo box that appears. You can also double-click the property name to
rotate through the available values.
- If a property editor is available for that property, an ellipsis (...) button appears. You
can click the ellipsis button to open the property editor.
Node Properties Sheets in the IDE
You can display property sheets for selected nodes in the IDE's various
windows, such as:
- The Options window (Advanced Options)
- The Debugger window
- The GUI Builder
- You can also open Properties dialog boxes that are dedicated to a particular
nodes by right-clicking the node and choosing Properties from the pop-up
menu. Even when you select another node, this Properties dialog box continues
to display properties for the node from which it was called.
