PROPERTY EDITOR

INTRO

The Property Editor displays a list of all the basic properties for the selected controls. The values displayed are for the last control you clicked before opening the Property Editor.

If all the controls have the same value, the property value text is plain, for example the "standard" style to the right. If they are different, the value is bolded: the 58,40 loc to the right. If the values are inherited, the text is gray: the 0,0,0 bottomColor.

​

Recently set values are displayed at the top with the property name bolded. You can also pin properties to the top in the Navigator Preferences dialog.

EDITING VALUES

For boolean values, click and it will flip.

For enumerated properties, there are popup menus, like the style popup shown to the left.

​

For one-line values -- the loc, the altId, the behavior, etc. -- there is an in-line editor: click to edit in-place, press return to save the value.

For multi-line values -- the htmlText, for example -- there is a larger editor, and you can convert between displaying the formatted text and the htmlText. 

You can click on the property name to popup a menu that shows all the controls and their values for that property, so you can select any of them to set the property to that value for all the controls. Recently edited properties display at the top of the list. In the prefs you can pin properties to the top of the list. The Property Editor can be paletted like the others. There is no revert option yet, but there will be soon.
