The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

 ■ The Properties bar is the Form Designer tool for viewing and setting the
   properties of a form or control at design time. The list of applicable
   properties changes depending on the type of control or form selected.
 
 ■ At the left of the Properties bar, the Property list box displays a list
   of properties for the selected object. For example, in the Properties bar
   above, the list box displays the Caption property. When you click the
   arrow to the right of the list box, the entire list drops down. To scroll
   through the properties, press the down arrow key or click the vertical
   scroll bar.
 
 ■ At the middle of the Properties bar, the Value box accepts and displays
   choices for property settings. For example, in the Properties bar above,
   the value of the Caption property is "Form1." To specify other property
   settings (such as True/False or numeric values), click the arrow to the
   right of the list box to select a value from the list, or enter a value if
   none is provided.
 
 ■ At the right of the Properties bar, the Location box displays the row
   and column (x,y coordinates) of the upper-left corner of the active form
   or control. Row and column values for a control are relative to the form
   upon which it is placed.
 
 ■ To the right of the Location box, the Size box displays the current
   dimensions of the active form or control. This value is expressed in
   characters.
