Properties Panel

Groups & subgroups

Properties are grouped (Geometry, Rectangle, Colors…). Some subgroups have a master toggle (e.g. Border off → border properties hidden).

Multi-select

When several widgets are selected, only common properties are editable. Mixed values show a placeholder.

Reset & wiki

Right-click any row for Reset to default, cut/copy/paste, min/max. The ? icon opens this widget's wiki page.

Variable bindings

Two ways to bind a property to a Variables:

  • Click the ◇ in a row's left gutter — opens the bind menu directly.
  • Right-click the row — context menu with Bind to variable ▸ (lists existing variables + Create variable…), or Unbind from: <name> if already bound.

Bound rows render with + an orange tint; the on the right unbinds. The diamond's color reflects scope: blue = global, orange = local to the current form. Updates propagate live to every widget bound to the same variable.

Events group

When a widget supports Event Handlers, an Events group appears right after Colors. Each event row shows the bound method name + its docstring; the header has [+] to add an action and bound rows have [✕] to unbind.

Action How
Add [+] on event header, or right-click → Add action
Open in editor Double-click row, F7, or right-click → Open in editor
Reorder Right-click row → Move up / Move down
Unbind [✕] on row, or right-click → Unbind

Local Variables group (Window selected)

Selecting the Window itself surfaces a read-only Local Variables group listing every variable scoped to the form. Right-click → Open Variables window… jumps straight to that entry.
