Property Window

This window displays the different properties of the selected element. The element name is displayed in the drop down list at the top. This list gathers all the other controls in the current form, or all the other images in the current family.

If the locale selector is not set to neutral and the property can be localized, the symbol ¤ is displayed after the property name. Moreover, the property value is grayed if no value was defined for the selected locale; in such a case, the displayed value is the one you defined for the neutral locale.

The value of some properties (Visible for example) is restricted to a specific range. In this case, the available range of values are shown in a drop down list. Other properties (Text for example) display a special editor for entering the value. In this case, the [...] button opens the appropriate dialog box.
