# Properties UI - Categorized Property Window

The following appeared in alt.toolkits.xview. It puts up part of the GUI of the standard Properties program, showing just how the categorized window stuff works. There are absolutely no actions associated with it. And, when you click on Apply, the window disappears but the program keeps running. But it does show the Categorized Properties Window in isolation, so it's worth keeping.

       You can also pick up a copy of Devguide 3.0.  It includes support
    for layered panes.  With that support and the new connections you can
    whip up the UI to a categorized property sheet in under 5 minutes.  I
    whipped up a simple mockup of the desktop properties sheet and included
    it below.
