Properties bar

The Properties bar shows all the properties available for whichever control(s) you have selected.

Changing a Property

A property can be changed by firstly clicking in the Value column alongside the property. Depending on the type property, you can change the property in a number of ways;

Either enter a new value
Or select a value from the list.
If you are changing a font or color property click the down arrow to display a dialog where you can change the property.
You can change the Mandatory Property from False to True if you require the specified control to be mandatory at run-time.

If the property value has a gray background, this indicates that it is disabled and therefore cannot be changed.

Note: After you have changed a property you must validate it by either pressing Enter or by clicking in another area of the Form Designer application.
