You can change a component’s properties in the Inspector. When you select a component in a form or report, the Inspector displays the component’s properties. If the Inspector is not open, do one of the following:

Press F11.

Choose View|Inspector (this command is a toggle).

Right-click the selected component and choose Tool Windows|Inspector from the context menu.

When you have selected multiple components, you can change their common properties simultaneously. When you change a property value or link code to an event for a multiple selection, the change affects all components in the selection.

Note

You cannot change methods for multiple selections.

The Inspector has three tabbed pages that show the properties, events, and methods of the selected object. The name of the currently selected object appears in the drop-down list box at the top of the Inspector. Click the Down arrow of this box to select a different object, or select the object on the form or report, itself.

Properties, methods and events set by you, or that have no default value, are shown in bold. (Bold properties are ones that will be streamed out.)
