Setting Pen Properties in End User Designer

rbuser

Hi,

Is there a way to set the line thickness of a ppShape object
when using the designer at runtime?

The Line Thickness selection on the drawing menu can't be used
(need a 'weight' property which ppShape lacks) and there is no
setting on the context-sensitive popup menu.

I'm hoping that I'm missing something obvious, but if not then
please consider this a feature request.

Yes, it is a limitation in the UI. We'll make sure this is on the todo list
of features to add in the future. However, this doesn't mean it can't be
set in the current implementation. What you can do is extend the component.
Here is an example which shows how to set this property using a simple
custom dialog in a descendent shape component.
