Beginner question: How can I see a list of properties?

golive · Post by **golive** » Wed Jul 22, 2015 4:10 am

Is there a way to see all the properties available for an object?

For example, all the properties for a button.

Also, is intellisense available while writing a script?

Hmmm.

Tough one.

Ah yes. There is a property called "the properties". Go get it. But be careful, it is an array.

I did say "Beginner"

Thanks for the pointer.

Is Intellisense available while typing?

Hi.

I have an abrasive personality. Do not worry about that at all.

More importantly, if you query a certain property of a control, like its "rect", you get a value in the clear. But if you extract "the properties", you get an array, as I said. Is this something you are familiar with? If not, you will get a very nice lesson and pretty good exercise if you look up the "combine" command in the dictionary.

I do not know that much about intellisense. The message box has a certain level of autocomplete, based on previous text it "learns". Others will likely chime in...

I made a property sheet tool a while back you may find useful:

This easiest way is to open the dictionary, click on the type of control you want to examine in the left side list, and then click on the Type header at the top. That will sort the results by the type of keyword so that all properties are grouped together.

Hi Richard

That looks like it would be useful. When I run it, there is an error and the scroll bars do not work.
Can you tell me how to get it to work?

TIA

OIC. I was wondering where to see a complete list.

Most useful, thanks.
