Property trees are similar to the list of folders displayed in the left pane of Windows Explorer. Just as folders preceded by a plus sign contain other folders, property tree nodes preceded by a plus sign represent sub-objects with their own set of editable properties. To expand a sub-object node and view its properties, click the adjacent plus sign or double-click the node's name or icon. The following illustration shows the General property tree for a grid with its <a href="javascript:TL_1017961.HHClick()">CaptionStyle</a> property expanded.</p> <p><img src="ImagesExt/image9_11.png" width="234" height="275"></p> <p>When a property tree node is expanded, the plus sign changes to a minus sign. To collapse an expanded node, click the minus sign or double-click the node's name or icon.</p> <p>Property trees use the following icons to help you identify properties and objects more readily:</p> <p><img src="ImagesExt/image9_12.png" width="16" height="13"> A collection object or a member of a collection.</p> <p><img src="ImagesExt/image9_13.png" width="16" height="13"> A string, number, color, font, or picture property.</p> <p><img src="ImagesExt/image9_14.png" width="16" height="13"> An enumerated property.</p> <p><img src="ImagesExt/image9_15.png" width="16" height="13"> A Boolean property with a value of <strong>True</strong>.</p> <p><img src="ImagesExt/image9_16.png" width="16" height="13"> A Boolean property with a value of <strong>False</strong>.</p> <a name="seealsobookmark"></a> </div> <div id="FooterContent"> <p> </p><p> </p><hr style="height: 1px"><p>Copyright (c) <script type="text/javascript"> var theDate=new Date() document.write(theDate.getFullYear()) </script> GrapeCity, inc.
