  • Right-click near the top of the dialog and select View Source from the pop-up menu.

View Dialog Source

Note: Many dialogs and windows have multiple source files; so if you can't locate the field you are looking for, try right clicking in a different area (closer to the label you want to modify). For example, if you right-click in the grid area of the Person Search illustrated above, you will open a different source file. If you already know the name of the field you want to modify, you can skip this step.
  • In the displayed source file, locate the field name that has the value you want to modify. The field for the dialog title is clearly labelled and the current value of the field is displayed after the hyphen.
