Component Details - Properties tab

The Details Properties tab shows the attributes of the component which is being edited. You can use properties to control things such as the size and color of a component, its caption, and whether it should be visible or not.

When you change the properties of a component using the Design view, you are making design-time changes. You can also change the properties of components at run time using the SET command.

Some values such as for example Caption have to be typed in; predefined values can be selected from a list.

Note that when you change the value of a property, this change is automatically reflected in the other parts of the editor. For example if you change the Height and Width properties of a component, the component is simultaneously resized in the Design tab. Its DEFINE_COM statement in the 3.20 Source Tab is also updated.

The content of the Details tab can be displayed in categories using the Switch between available views button:
