In-Depth Information
Not all the elements have the same properties set, which is why the
Properties
panel ad-
apts its content to the element currently selected in the editing canvas. If multiple ele-
ments are selected in the editing canvas, only the properties that the selected elements
have in common will be displayed. In that case, changing the value of a property will
modify the property value in all of the selected elements.
Properties can be of different data types: String, Boolean, complex, and so on. Depending
on the type of the property being modified, the
Properties
panel can display different ed-
itors, such as a text area, a checkbox, a pop-up form, and so on.
