Toolbar Commands in the Property Palette
The toolbar provides quick access to commands. Click once on the icon for the command you want to execute.
- Copy Properties
-
- Copies the property settings currently selected in the Property Palette
to the clipboard.
-
- Paste Properties
-
- Pastes the clipboard property settings to the list of properties in the
Property Palette. Properties that are on the clipboard but not in the property
list are ignored.
-
- Add Property
-
- Displays a list of values (LOV) from which you can choose a property to
be added to a property class. This command is available only when the current
single selection is a property class object.
-
- Delete Property
-
- Removes the property currently selected in the properties list. This command
is available only when the current single selection is a property class object.
-
- Property Class
-
- Creates a property class with stubs from the the list of properties currently
displayed in the palette. The new property class object is inserted under
the Property Classes node in the Object Navigator and assigned a default name.
-
- Inherit
-
- Sets the current property to its default setting. If the property is based
on a property class, the default setting is the setting defined in the class.
If the current property list is not based on a property class, or is based
on a class that does not include the current property, Inherit sets the property
to the default value. (Inherit re-sets the property to the Oracle Forms
default for string values only, not for complex values such as those set in
dialogs.)
-
- Intersection/ Union
-
- Toggles the Property Palette between union and intersection display modes.
This option determines which properties appear when more than one object is
selected at a time (a multiple selection). In intersection mode (the default),
only properties that the selected objects have in common are displayed. In
union mode, the properties of all objects in the current selection are displayed.
-
- Freeze/Unfreeze
-
- Toggles Property Palette synchronization On and Off. When Freeze is Off
(the default), the property list is updated to display the properties of objects
you select in the Object Navigator and other windows. When Freeze is On, the
property list is pinned and does not get updated, allowing you to compare
it to other property lists.
