Using Property Editors

Go Up to Setting Properties and Events

Some properties, such as Lines from a TMemo, have special property editors. Such properties appear with an ellipsis mark next to their value when the property is selected in the Object Inspector.

To open the property editor for a given property, do one of the following:

• Double-click the Value column.
• Click the ellipsis in the Value column.
• Press Ctrl+Enter when the focus is on the Property column or the Value column.

Property editors let you set complex properties from a single dialog box. They provide input validation and often let you preview the results of an assignment.

For some components, double-clicking the component on the form opens the component editor. For example:

• For a TFDConnection, the FireDAC Connection Editor opens.
• For a TGrid, the Items Editor opens.
