The Property Grid


The Property Grid tool window provides a way to organize and set properties for all elements in your screen design project. Contents displayed in the Property Grid vary depending on the selected object.

The Property Gridis shown whenever a design element is selected and allows you to set attributes for the following items:

The first time you start Crestron Studio® the Property Grid tool window is open and docked at the right side area of the Basic Screen Designer. You can customize the available Workspace by re-sizing, moving, pinning, floating, hiding temporarily or closing the Property Grid tool window.

When changed, the size and location of the Property Grid are saved automatically and used the next time you open your project.

The information in the Property Grid is divided into two columns: Property Name(column to the left) and Property Value(column to the right). If desired, you can manually adjust the width of the columns. To do so, place your cursor over the divider between the Property Name and Property Value columns. The cursor changes to a double-arrow . To widen the column, move your mouse cursor to the right. To make the column narrower, move it to the left.

 

The Property Value column allows you to modify the value of the selected property. Depending on the property, you can enter text, a numeric value, select an item from a drop-down list, select an item from a dialog, and so on. When the value of a property has changed, the Property name font changes to italic to indicate that this property value has not been saved yet, for example:




Note that to display the properties of a particular item inProperty Grid , the item must be selected. For example, theProperty Grid displays properties information for a Page when the corresponding Page name is selected in the Design Explorer, Page Explorer or the Workspace .

Depending on the type of selection/viewing mode the Property Grid displays either information about individual or generic page properties.

Information about list items/hardbutton properties is displayed in the Property Data Grid.
