The Property View allows you to set properties on one or more controls in the window.

To manually open the Property View, choose **View** {{c6h0013.jpg|C6H0013.jpg}} **Properties** from the IDE menu, or press the **F4** key

As you select multiple controls in the Structure (Window) Designer, the Property View shows the pertinent (common) values for the selected controls. As you change the value of any property, all selected properties are affected..

There are two views. Press the Alphabetical button {{alphabetical.jpg|alphabetical.jpg}} to sort all properties in alphabetical order. Press the Categorized button {{categorized.jpg|categorized.jpg}} to sort all properties grouped by a common category.
