Builders
All Builders use the Property Browser that exposes only those properties that really affect appearance and behavior of a control.
The Property Browser works exactly like Visual Studio .NET property browser does.
In addition to set only valid values to properties, Builders also allow you to:
- sort the properties alphabetically and display them categorized;
- resize columns and the property description pane;
- show/hide the property description pane;
- expand/collapse categories;
- double click on the property name to change value of the property;
- reset properties to default values.
