The Property Edit Sheet controls all aspects of the selected Object. When a new Object is to be created, the Cancel
Add button appears next to the OK button. In this case, the user may Cancel Add to discard the new Object before it
is committed to the screen.
Features of the Property Edit Sheet are enabled in response to a particular property type or Object type.
Colors:
Change a color by clicking on the colored button at the far right side. The color represents the described color (in this
case, FF00) and will open the Color Dialog for new color selection. Additionally, a color value may be manually filled
in by typing in the hexadecimal field containing up to 6 characters (0 - black to FFFFFF - white). The colors are
controlled as such: the first two characters, (0 – FF) are Red, the next two are Green and the final two are Blue and
the various combinations create different colors.
Size and Position:
Size and position can be changed only when a screen is in the Unlocked position. The user may simply double click
the Object and move or resize it using the red sizing handles or use the Property Edit Sheet. A new value can be
simply typed in to the text field, or one may use the up and down arrows to alter the value. Keep in mind that the
grid granularity control on the screen dictates how small an increment or decrement can be made to one of these
properties.
Lists:
A list of items is indicated by (list) in the property value box. Selecting (list) will activate the List Selector form.
Combo Box:
If a property has a distinct list of Objects or styles that can be applied to it, those properties and styles will be
displayed in a drop down combo box.
The Toggle button appears on Button controls to allow the user to show the On and Off states of the button being
edited.
The Step List button appears on Logic Boxes and RealTime Event Buttons to allow the user to display all the states of
the box or button being edited.
