The tabs that are available depend on the object:

Some objects have only General and Common tabs.

If an object can have more than one state, the object’s Properties dialog box contains a
States tab.

Some objects have unique tabs that are not listed in the table above.

The tabs that an ActiveX object has depends on the vendor’s implementation, though
if you can assign tags or expressions to the object it has a Connections tab.

In this tab

Do this

General

Set up the object’s appearance, audio indicator, and touch margins
(for buttons), and settings that are unique to the object, such as the
button action for a push button, whether to use key navigation to
select the object, or whether to link a button to a specific object.

For information about touch margins, see page 21-4.

For information about key navigation, see page 21-8.

For information about linking buttons to objects, see page 21-9.

States

Set up the states for the object, including the value for each state
and whether to show a caption or image for the state.

For information about checking that the states are set up the way
you intended, see page 20-35.

Label

For objects that don’t have multiple states, specify whether to use a
caption or image on the object.

For information about using the Image Browser to select an image
to use in the label, see page 19-23.

Timing

Set up the object’s auto repeat (see page 21-11) or Enter key
handshaking (see page 21-12) settings.

Common

Set up the object’s spatial properties, name and visibility. For
details, see page 21-2.

Connections

Assign tags and expressions to the object’s connections.

For information about assigning tags and expressions, see
page 20-36.
