2.Perform a property search.
To search for a property, enter the search string you want to search for in each input area displayed on the first line of the search list.
•Form ・・・ Form name
•Object - Type of control (for example, for a button, specify "Button")
•Name ・・・ Object name
•Property Name ... property name
•Property Value ・・・ Property setting value
•Property Bind ・・・ Binding setting value
Search conditions can be specified for each column, and multiple conditions can be specified at the same time. When multiple conditions are specified, the results are narrowed down using the AND method.
As an example, enter "Enabled" for Property Name.
To confirm your search criteria, press Enter or click the refresh icon in the upper left.
Then the search results were displayed in a list.
In this example, when "Enabled" was specified as the search keyword for the property name, the partial match "EnableInput" was also displayed as a result. If you want to narrow your search to only exact matches, click the exact match icon "'ab'" in the upper left to switch the search criteria to exact match and run again.
If no script code matching the conditions is found, the list will display as follows:

You can select an object that contains a property by clicking on the row in the list.
As an example, try clicking on a row of search results below.
This will cause the control to be selected on the form.
