Setting Component Properties

webAF enables you to set component properties using either a JavaBeans compliant Property Sheet or a customizer for the component.

When you compile a project that includes components, the generated Java source contains code that is based on the properties you have defined. You can use the Java Source Editor to further modify the Java code as required.

To set component properties using the Property Sheet:

  1. Right-click a component either on the Components tab of the Project Navigator, or in the Visual view of the active Build Frame.
  2. Select Properties.
  3. Enter or change the component property values as needed.
  4. Close the Property Sheet.

Alternatively, you can select the Component Customizer toolbar button () to display the customizer for the active component.

Changes to properties are saved as soon as you change rows in the Property Sheet or when you close the dialog box.

To set component properties using the customizer:

  1. Right-click a component either on the Components tab of the Project Navigator, or in the Visual view of the active Build Frame.
  2. Select Customizer.

    If no customizer is available for the selected component, both the Customizer menu item and the toolbar button are be disabled.

  3. Enter or change the component property values as needed.
  4. Close the Customizer.

Alternatively, you can select the Component Customizer toolbar button (Customizer dialog box image) to display the customizer for the active component.
