Set Component Properties

 

This tool waits in the background until you compile a project.  It then scans the current project's forms to check for components with certain properties and changes those properties to a defined value.  This tool is useful to deactivate datasets or database connections before you compile your applications, but it can be used for any similar situations as well.  To activate the scanning, enable the checkbox next to this expert in the GExperts Configuration screen.

 

To add a new component class and property to search for, enter those values in the Property to Set area.  Then type in the desired value of the property as the Value text (see Property Value Constants for details).  Finally, click Add to add that property rule to the stored list of rules.  To edit an existing property rule, select it in the list, make your changes, and click Modify.  To delete a property rule, select the property in the list and hit Delete.

 

The property types that are listed in the property dropdown can be edited using the context menu in the Property Types area.  You can add and remove property types to show only those you are interested in seeing.
