Properties window overview (all objects)

 

 

Applies to:
User interface overview

Description:
Properties, actions and behaviour of objects are maintained on the respective properties window of the selected object. There are different property windows for buttons, labels, panels, edit objects, web objects, the main web and the main dialog. Depending on the selected object (highlighted by a selection frame around it), the corresponding properties are displayed on the properties window automatically. Should the properties dialog not be displayed, you can open it by choosing View->Properties or by selecting Properties from the context menu (right mouse click on selected object).
