properties

• The lists below are included from their source documents, but they are not complete. For example, margins and opaque are optional properties that do not appear in the lists, below.
• There are other LiveCode reserved words that are not in the dictionary but are nonetheless reserved. If you attempt to use a property, and it does not behave as you would expect, type the name into the script editor, and see if it changes colors. If it changes colors, it is a reserved word, and should be quoted when it is declared as a property.

Included Properties

• There are a number of properties that all widgets have available.
• According to the style guide these should not have a property definition, but should have metadata to assign them to the Property Inspector.

Property Inspector Panel	Property Name
Basic	name kind tooltip visible disabled
Colors	ink blendLevel
Size and Position	lockLoc width height location left top right bottom layer
Text	textFont textSize
Advanced	layerMode behavior traversalO number

Optional Properties

There are other standard LiveCode properties that must be specified as being available to the widget - but they are not declared with the property keyword. You must add the metadata for the Property Inspector, though.

Keywords/Reserved words as properties

If you use a keyword as a property name, it seems that you should include it in quotes, e.g. property "opaque" get mShowBackground set setShowBackground but that syntax is not described in the tokens section of the LiveCode Builder Language Reference
