MaxNumber of cust prop

[Martin Englund]

Hi,

It seems like there is a maximum number of visible custom properties
assigned to a Master/Shape; no more than 20 are displayed. I do not have any
problem with assigning more than 20 properties, but the last ones is not
shown when the custom properties dialog is opened. Is there anyone who knows
how to change this? I need at least 25 custom properties.

Thanks in advance
Martin

The Custom Properties dialog will only show 20 properties. Use the Custom
Properties Window to display and edit all the visible properties of a shape.

Yes, that is correct. But, I want to edit even more properties in the Custom
Properties Window. Is that possible or is there a constrain on the number of
custom properties?

If you want to use the Custom Properties dialog, rather than the window,
then you can group your custom properties visibilty.
For example, create a user defined cell, say User.Group. Change the value
in that cell with you Action that also opens the properties, and have the
Hidden cell of all the properties responding to this value accordingly.
In this way, you can have groups of custom properties displayed, under a
heading, each group with no more than 20 properties in it.

(Aside to Microsoft - the Network Properties tabbed dialog was quite
useful - why did it have to go?)
