The Synchronize Class View option selects an element in the Class View that is associated with a form or a form object. You can select any graphical object on a form and instantly determine its corresponding data attribute in the Class View hierarchy.

To synchronize a form object with its data attribute in the Class View, right-click the object, and select Synchronize Class View.

This highlights the data attribute that is associated with the graphical object on the form. If the Properties window is open, you can also edit the properties of the associated attribute that is selected in the Class View. For form objects that are not associated with any data attribute, the class that contains the form is selected. The Synchronize Class View option on a form, or a selection of multiple objects, selects the class in the Class View that contains the form.

The Properties window also displays certain Design properties of form objects associated with primitive data types. The properties that are displayed depend on the type of form object and are Read-only, such as Length, Primitive, Direction, Decimals and Constraint. This provides a quick view of some of the properties of the primitive data type associated with the selected form object. The changes that are made to the Design properties of data attributes associated with form objects, such as Button, CheckBox, Radiobutton, TextField, PasswordField, or TextArea, are automatically reflected in the Design properties of the corresponding form object.

You can also synchronize objects that are inherited from a form of a parent class. For example, if an attribute with Direction other than None inherits from a class that contains a form, the form objects of the parent class are added to the current form as a movable GridPanel.
