8.2 The Properties Window
The Properties window (see Figure 8-1) displays the properties of an object and allows us
to change them.
When a standard module is selected in the Project window, the only property that appears
in the Properties window is the module's name. However, when a form is selected in the
Projects window, many of the object's properties appear in the Properties window, as
shown in Figure 8-3.
The Properties window can be used to change some of the properties of the object while
no code is running, that is, at
design time
. (Note that while most properties can be
changed either at design time or
runtime
, some properties can only be changed at design
time and some can only be changed at runtime. Runtime properties generally do not
appear in the Properties window.)
