controls; properties of form controls properties; form controls Control Properties Opens a dialog for editing the properties of a selected control.

You can only call the Properties dialog when in the Design mode with a control selected.

If you enter data in the Properties dialog, note that multiline input is possible for certain drop-down combo boxes. This concerns all fields in which an SQL statement can be entered, as well as the properties of text boxes or label fields. You can open these fields and enter text in the opened list. The following shortcut keys are valid: Keys Effects OptionAlt+Down Arrow Opens the combo box OptionAlt+Up Arrow Closes the combo box Shift+Enter Inserts a new line. Up Arrow Places the cursor into the previous line. Down Arrow Places the cursor into the next line. Enter Completes the input in the field and places the cursor into the next field. As with list boxes or combo boxes, you can open or close the list with a mouse click at the arrow on the right end of the field. However, the input here can be entered either in the opened list or in the top text field. An exception is the properties that expect a list representation, for example, the property List Entries, which can be set for the control fields List Box and Combo Box. Here, you can only edit the entries when the field is opened.
