Learning about Properties

Every component (form is component for example) has properties, that determine its look and its functioning. Properties can be the component color, width, height and more. To see the form properties, select from the menu View->Properties Window (Figure 8).
Figure 8:

The properties window looks like this:
Figure 9:

In the red circle you can see the component name: These are the properties of a Form, and the form's name is Form1.

The column marked by the blue circle contains the form's properties names: The form has Name property, Appearance property AutoRedraw property, and more. The column marked by the black circle contains the form's properties values: The form's Name is Form1, The form's Appearance property is 1 - 3D, and so on.

You can change the form's properties. For example, lets change the form's Caption property. What is the Caption property? The Caption is the text that appears on the Form's title bar.
Right now the text that appears on the form's title bar is Form1 (Figure 5).
To change the Caption property, simply click on the Caption property in the form's properties names column (Figure 10).
