- Object Properties Grid

Object properties can be quickly and easily maintained on the Object Properties Grid, which is available on the Structure, Dynamics, Statics, Events, and File Views.

To display the Object Properties Grid:

Select a Development view (Structure, Dynamics, Statics, Events, and File views)
Select the icon to display the Object Properties Grid. This displays all of the object's properties and they can be directly selected and amended on one screen.
Amend the object properties.
Exit the property field to save the changes.

Structure View and Aggregated Object Properties

The Structure view facilitates the selection of multiple objects and the maintenance of the aggregated object properties.

When multiple objects are selected, the Object Properties Grid displays a list of aggregated properties that can be edited.
If disparate objects are selected, (e.g. Edit Box and File Accessor) there are few or no common properties, therefore the Object Property Grid could be empty, and this is valid.
If a property has different current values for objects selected, an empty edit box with a different background colour displays, and you can set the value. If all objects have the same value, the value displays, and can be changed if required.
When aggregated properties are maintained, the correct values are saved to the correct objects when the field is exited.
