Changing the Properties of Controls in the Dialog Editor
You can set the properties of control that you add to a dialog. For example, you can change the color, name, and size of a button that you added. You can change most control properties when you create or edit a dialog. However, you can only change some properties at runtime.
To change the properties of a control in design mode, right-click the control, and then choose Properties.
