Hi,
I have chosen the name of the subject for a reason:
Options to optimize this feature:
The only one who knows, what the property does for some item, is the development team itself. I don't want to invent the wheel again by trying, building and hoping it will function... Way to much properties to choose from Thanks in advance

The original version listed 10 times the amount of useless\not used properties

Hi,
Yes and ??? Reduce the amount of properties again I would say. What holds you back to give us a list to choose from, with only those properties which actually do something? Prefer you would do this in SkinBuilder but could be a document where I can find a certain item. Document:
The red marked properties aren't needed with the item
At least give us something to fall back on. Thank you

I just meant that it is the first release and it will be improved with each release. I'll see what can be done. But the end goal would be to only list properties that do something, so there would be no trial and error.

Just an update.
I have been told that in 12.0.0 all properties listed actually do something. The reason some seem not to work its because some properties depend on others. If one property for example is set to state A, then property 2 will not work. But Property 2 can't just be remove, because the user can switch Property 1 to state B and then Property 2 will work. So no the challenge is to find a good way to let the user know the situation. We will have something worked out for 12.1. Note 12.0.1 will be coming out, but this will not be included. Will have to wait for 12.1. |

Hi,
Thanks for the update. I will wait for V12.1 release to find out if "your being told person" is right about the properties
Thanks

Hi,
I only checked one thing as I informed you a while ago... The property <ContentAlignment> for caption isn't showing in the list. I will not check other things as "your being told person" said there would be all properties which would actually do something. Well <ContentAlignment> is one of the most important properties which will be changed for a certain style. Let the "your being told person" step up to the plate or give us a list where we can find the (available/ actually do something) properties ourselves.
Thanks

Same in V13.1
This is just one example of a property that actually is needed and it's not in the list. So "your being told person" isn't paying attention with what he/she is doing. It's a great tool but it could be a better one...
Thanks
