Properties Window

To open this dialog box, choose Window Properties Window. It displays certain properties for the currently selected object. The displayed properties are different for different object types. If more than one object is currently selected, it displays only those property types they have in common (generally no more than their dimensions.) Figure A–5 shows the Properties Window for a control frame, such as that automatically supplied by AppBuilder when you place an OCX object.
