Constructors

	PropertiesDialog	Initializes a new instance of the PropertiesDialog class.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Localization	The localization instance for the dialog. Each dialog has its own localization instance that has read the localization files needed for that dialog. (Inherited from FormBase.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	ApplyValues	Loads the dialog values from a file and performs Apply on the loaded values. To match the files to a certain dialog, the file suffix is set as the dialog type's name. (Inherited from FormBase.)
	GetConnectionStatus	Returns true if a proper connection to the Tekla Structures process has been established. Currently, there's no way to re-establish the connection. (Inherited from FormBase.)
	InitializeForm	Prepares the data storage for the dialog and scans through the fields. (Inherited from FormBase.)
	LoadValues	Loads the dialog values from a file. To match the files to a certain dialog, the file suffix is set as the dialog type's name. (Inherited from FormBase.)
	ModifyValues	Loads the dialog values from a file and performs Modify on the loaded values. To match the files to a certain dialog, the file suffix is set as the dialog type's name. (Inherited from FormBase.)
	SaveValues	Serializes the dialog values to an xml file. (Inherited from FormBase.)
	SetAttributeValue	Sets a value for the given control. When the dialog is not shown, setting a property directly for a control (such as textBox1.Text = "text") will not work for controls that have a Tekla Structures AttributeTypeName set. This method is going to have to be used to set the value. (Inherited from FormBase.)
	ShowForm	Displays the form. (Inherited from FormBase.)
	UpdateValues	Obsolete. Rereads and updates all the field values on the form. (Inherited from FormBase.)
