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.
