Appendix F - Control Properties

3 4

Following is a list of control properties and the controls they apply to. A few properties are only available in VBA code; they are indicated by the text "(VBA only)" after the property or control names. For more information about a control property (including some of the more obscure properties not described in this book), position the insertion point in the property box of the properties sheet and press F1 to open context-specific Help.
