This property sheet consists of two main parts:
Here you can specify whether a field is a pure input field, a pure output field, a password field ("no echo": a "*" is displayed for every real character), an (unused) placeholder field, or a combination of all these.
A field of a form consists of prefix texts, the actual field and suffix texts. All these are contained in an (imaginary) rectangular "field box" that is just as large as required to contain all these elements.
Specify the position of the field box as well as the position of the actual field within the field box
in terms of its horizontal distance ("horizontal space") from the preceding form element (field or explanatory text) on the same level of nesting,
or as a tab position (in character spaces, "horizontal tab") relative to the left margin of the containing form or sub-form box, or field box, whatever applies,
and/or by the number of line breaks ("vertical space") to be inserted before the respective item .
