The Window Designer's Properties Pad allows you to quickly specify the appearance and content of the text on each control within the window and on the window title bar. Control the font, size, style, and content of all your text, using standard entry fields and drop down lists. Every property of a selected control is listed in this pad.
Display and get focus to the Properties Pad by choosing View Properties, or press the F4 key. Resize the Properties Pad by placing the cursor on the border of the box. When the cursor changes to a double headed arrow, CLICK and DRAG. Use the toolbar buttons to change the sort appearance.
As you multi-select controls in the Designer (CTRL + CLICK), any change in a property in the Properties Pad will affect all selected controls.
You can manually enter in property values in the pad, or clicking on the property name will cycle through valid choices where applicable. In many properties, there are lookup buttons that display additional selection dialogs.
