This would allow changes to be seen without the need to keep opening/closing the Object Properties dialog. should be easy to implemenmt as it would just do the same as the OK button, but just not close the Object Properties dialog.

There should also be a Help button on the Object Properties dialog to get context sensitive help on each tab section.

Small changes, but would make it much easier to use.

After looking that section over a few times...

RE: The Object Properties area, I humbly second and recommend WYDVf's recommendations -- clearly would make the area more user friendly, and end-user would receive very quick verification of their actions taken.

Context-sensitive Help for each tab would be a bit of added text work, but would place end-user assistance exactly where it should do the most good.

I should clarify that by context-sensitive help, I simply mean to open the online help at the correct section, as opposed to having a question mark buton in the window title bar which, when clicked, allows you to click on a control to popup a tooltip with some help just for that control.

This would be fine IMO, and would require minimal work to implement.

Understood here. That would indeed be simpler for programmer to implement, and likely simpler for end-user to quickly see, as well.

I referred your suggestions to our developers. Thank you!

There is no Help button, you can simply press F1 and a context sensitive help will be displayed.
