Device IDE Tour

See all the properties you can choose from?

For BackColor, we have a list of standard colors to choose from. If you want a custom color, you can calculate its RGB color number and enter it. On HPC and HPC/PRO color devices, a more complex color picker appears.

Once we have the properties entered, we drag the Fahrenheit object to its proper position and size it properly. We then add another TextBox called "Celsius", and two command buttons ("F2C" and "C2F"), in exactly the same way we created Fahrenheit.

Not only do objects on the form have properties, the form itself does. Edit them by selecting Form1 Properties, or by double tapping outside any object.

By the way, Select Object puts up a list of the objects on the form. You can pick one and edit its properties. This is handy if an object is hidden behind others or has gotten too small to double tap on.
