Property Grid

The Property Grid is the Form Designer control that allows you to manipulate the properties of any control currently selected in the designer window.

Select the property you want to modify and make the required changes. They will be reflected in the designer window immediately.

Note: you can find detailed information about each of the properties available in the Property Grid in the .NET Framework Class Library documentation of the System.Windows.Forms namespace. An online version is available at Microsoft's MSDN website.

Changes made using the property grid can be persisted when exiting the Form Designer as the program will ask you whether or not you want to save them before closing the Form Designer Window.

Note: experience has shown that only a limited number of properties available in the standard Property Grid are actually being used in day-to-day operations. Therefore, we have developed a QuickProperties Editor that allows you to edit the most common form and control properties in one convenient place.
