Function |
|---|---|
| Id | Read-only. By default, automatically generated. Id="ListBox1" for the first inserted ListBox, Id="ListBox2" for the second, and so on. |
| Name | Read-only. The value of this property is set to Static control. |
| BackgroundColor | Specifies a background color for the object. Select a color from one of the tabs in the drop-down list. Note that you can specify a custom color. If you change this value, you can restore the default value specified for the parent object by right-clicking the property and clicking Reset on the context menu. |
| BorderStyle | Specifies a style to control the border of the container that surrounds the object. Options available for List Box control are None and Fixed3D. Note: The appearance of a List Box is always Fixed3D, regardless of whether the None or Fixed3D options are selected. Client generators such as Component Enabler and Winforms interpret the BorderStyle property set here in the Property window and generate the Graphical User Interface accordingly. |
| ControlType | Specifies ListBox as the type of object added to the form. To change the ControlType, choose from the list of available types. |
| Font | Specifies font attributes that are applied directly to the text appearing in the object. If you change this value, you can restore the default value specified for the parent object by right-clicking the property and clicking Reset on the context menu. |
| ForegroundColor | Specifies a foreground color for the object. Select a color from one of the tabs in the drop-down list. Note that you can specify a custom color. If you change this value, you can restore to the default value specified for the parent object by right-clicking the property and clicking Reset on the context menu. |
| ListContents | Opens the List Contents Editor to specify settings for the List Box. Can also be specified for a Combo Box. |
| Location | Specifies the point in pixels that represents the upper-left corner of the object relative to the upper-left corner of its container as an X and Y location. |
| ScrollBars | Specifies whether the ListBox should have scroll bars or not. Options are No (default) and Horizontal. |
| Size | Specifies the size of the object representing the height and width in pixels. |
| TabIndex | Specifies the index that defines the tab order for the object. |
