Working With Properties

Properties Control Window

Select View > Properties (or click the toolbar button) to display the Properties Control window
(FIG. 61). Use the Properties Control window to view/edit page, popup page and button properties, and
to view/edit the programming and states information associated with each element in your project.

Properties Control Window
Note that the title bar of the Properties Control window indicates which element of the workspace is
currently selected. If one or more buttons are selected in the Workspace, the title bar of the Properties
Control window indicates the number of buttons selected.
Also note that the button name and type are displayed in the text box above the tabs (in the example
below, the selected button is named "pause", and the button type is general. Click the down arrow next to
this field to view a list of all buttons on the active page. Selecting a button from this list is the same as
selecting it in a Design View window: the edit focus shifts to the selected button, and the Properties
Control window reflects the properties of the newly selected button.
The Properties Control contains three tabs: General, Programming and States.
To edit any of the listed button properties, click on an item in the right-hand column to activate the field.
Depending on the item selected, you can either set the item manually, select from a drop-down menu, or
both.

Properties from the Properties Control window can be dragged and dropped onto the Design
View (to Buttons on the main Page, or the Page itself). The selected property or state is
automatically applied to all states of the drop target (whether a button or the page itself).
General and State properties can also be copied and pasted to a Design View using standard
copy/paste menu and keyboard mechanisms.
Another feature of the Properties Control window (all tabs) is that you can click on any value
in the right column, and drag it to another field. When you release the mouse button, the value
is copied to the new location. With an item selected, the cursor will change to indicate any
fields that cannot accept the selected value, and if the selected value is out of the acceptable
range for a target field, TPDesign4 alerts you with an error dialog, and the original value is
left unchanged.
