nsedona-Sedona Property Sheet

 The Sedona Property Sheet view (property sheet) is a standard view for any Sedona Framework component, providing access to the properties for that component. If a container type component, it also includes any child components as expandable [+] nodes—for example, the property sheet for a Folder component, will include a node for each component that it contains.

For many components, the property sheet view is the default view. The default view appears at the top of the “View Selector” for a component, as shown in Figure 71 (property sheet for SoxService).

In a property sheet, some properties may appear with a gray (vs. white) background—these are typically read-only properties—a common example is the property “Out”. When you click on a writable property and enter a value, its appearance changes red to indicate a save is needed, and the Save button at the bottom of the view becomes available (Figure 72).

Click the Save button to write the change to the node’s RAM, making it effective. However, note that such changes are not persisted in Flash memory of the device unless you save the App node.
