6.3. Working with the Property Sheet

The property sheet can be opened by right-clicking a control and choosing ControlType Properties..., with ControlType being the type of control you are using. Another way to open the property sheet for a control is to double-click the left mouse button on the control. Which properties exist for a control will depend on what type of control it is.

The property sheet is broken up in to tabbed pages, based on categories of properties. Some examples of properties are Data, Display, Size, and Advanced. You will see an example of the property for a text box on the next section when you are shown how to set the default value of a control.
