In the IDE, every property sheet has a toolbar that lets you choose how to display the properties. It also enables you to display the Customizer dialog box, if one exists for the currently selected object.
Windows with this toolbar include the window displayed when you choose
View Properties, the Component Inspector,
Project Settings window, Options window, and Debugger window.
Use the toolbar buttons as follows:
Button | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
![]() |
Unsorted | Displays properties in the arbitrary order set upon the component's creation in the IDE. |
![]() |
Sort by Name | Sorts properties alphabetically by name. |
![]() |
Sort by Type | Sorts properties by property value type (int, string,
java.awt.Color , javax.swing.Icon , and so on). |
![]() |
Editable | Displays only editable properties. |
![]() |
Customizer | Displays a customizer dialog box if one is available for the selected object.
For example, if the selected node in the Component Inspector is GridBagLayout, clicking this button displays the Gridbag Customizer for the current form. |
