View and change the properties of client controls

When you embed a client control into a graphic, the native properties of the client control are imported into the Properties Editor in the Misc group.

Also the element container of the client control has properties such as:

• Name

• X, Y, Width, Height, AbsoluteOrigin, RelativeOrigin, and Locked

• FillColor

• TextColor and Font

• Enabled, TabOrder, TabStop, and Visible

The element container properties override the native properties of the client control.

You can view and change the properties of the control in the Properties Editor.

To view or change the properties of a client control

1. Select the embedded client control on the canvas.

2. In the Properties Editor, locate a:

   • Container property in the property categories Graphic, Appearance, Fill Style, Text Style or Runtime Behavior.

   • Native property in the Misc property category.

3. View or change the located property.

To reset a client control back to its original size

• On the Edit menu, click Control - Original Size. The AutoSize property is set to False.
