Each part of the DataWindow object (such as text, columns, computed fields, bands, even the DataWindow object itself) has a set of properties appropriate to the part. The properties display in the Properties view.
You can use the Properties view to modify the parts of the DataWindow object.
To use the Properties view to modify the parts
of the DataWindow object:
Position the mouse over the part you want to modify.
Display the part's pop-up menu and select Properties.
If it is not already displayed, the Properties view displays. The view displays the properties of the currently selected control(s), the band, or the DataWindow object itself. The contents of the Properties view change as different controls are selected (made current).
For example, the Properties view for a column has tabbed pages of information with properties specific to the selected column or columns. You access the properties you want to view or modify by clicking the appropriate tab. To choose an edit style for the column, you click the Edit tab. This brings the Edit page to the front of the Properties view.
