The Properties Window
The properties window is required to set the properties
of the form and all of the controls you place on the
form. When you select a control, the properties window
changes to list every property related to that control.
VB sets the initial property values of an object.
The following figure shows a properties window listing
some of the properties for a Form. To assign a value
to a property, select the property and type a new
value.

Each property has a name and a
value. |
The Properties window consists of the following elements:
- Object box: It
displays the name of the object for which you
can set properties. You can click the arrow to
the right of the object box to display the list
of objects for the current form.
- Sort tabs: You
can choose between an alphabetic listing of properties
or a hierarchical view divided by logical categories,
such as those dealing with appearance, fonts,
or position.
- Properties list:
The left column displays all of the properties
for the selected object. In the right column,
you can edit and view settings.
