accessing properteis in ppDesigner

edited July 2001 in General
Is it possible to access pp component propertes in Designer at run time?
For example I need to color a TppShape. How do I do this?

    Use the different toolbars to set properties on the components. There is no
    runtime object inspector for the desinger at this time. Right-click over the
    toolbar workspace to access the toolbar popup which shows which toolbars are
    presently enabled.

    Thanks! - I was able to adjust the color property with the toolbars - I saw
    no way to change the shape of TppShape from a rectangle to a triangle in the
    designer toolbars. Is there a way?

    Hi Gerald,

    look around, in the upper left side, where you normally edit the 'Caption'
    property of labels, you'll see a combo box of shape types.

    (may I encourage you to look once more into the tutorials, demos,
    documentation and the developer's guide)

    regards,
    Chris Ueberall;

    saw
    the designer toolbars. Is there a way?

    Yes I will - is anything published in book form for RBuilder?

    Sure is. You can order the printed 'Developer'sGuide' and
    'LearningReportBuilder- An EndUser's Guide' from our website.
