Properties Control Window - General Tab

Click the General tab (at the top of the Properties Control window) to set/edit general properties
for all button types. The General tab contains a table that lists the button properties for the selected
button type.
To edit any of the listed button properties, click on an item in the right column to
activate that field for editing. Depending on the item selected, you can either set the
item manually, select from a drop-down menu, or both.
One feature of the Properties Control window (both 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.
