Setting Component Properties

Whenever you select a component or an entire form in the Form Workspace, or in the Components tree view, the respective properties display in the Inspector. For the properties of different types (text, Boolean, color, etc.) the Inspector provides different editors. Besides editing in the Inspector, you can edit text properties using the in-place editor.
