Property Sheet Toolbar

In the IDE, every property sheet has a toolbar that lets you choose how to display the properties. It also enables you to display the Customizer dialog box, if one exists for the currently selected object.

Windows with this toolbar include property sheets, the Component Inspector, the Options window, and the Debugger window.

The following table lists the toolbar buttons and their descriptions:

Button Name Description
 Unsorted Displays properties in the arbitrary order set upon the component's creation in the IDE.
 Sort by Name Sorts properties alphabetically by name.
 Sort by Type Sorts properties by property value type (int, string, java.awt.Color, javax.swing.Icon, and so on).
 Editable Displays only editable properties.
 Customizer Displays a customizer dialog box if one is available for the selected object.

For example, if the selected node in the Component Inspector is GridBagLayout, clicking this button displays the Gridbag Customizer for the current form.
