String List data is typed into a standard text edit field, optionally on separate lines using scalable strings. Editable String List data fields are recognized by the display of a small button containing an ellipsis () at the far right edge of the Properties view which appears when a field which contains text data is selected for edit.
The object will display a bounding rectangle with squares at its corners and midpoints.
The properties of the selected object will be displayed.
NOTE Some fields will display descriptive text in the Carbide.c++ status pane when they are selected.
The value will be highlighted and display a flashing cursor.
If the value is editable within the String List Editor the Ellipsis button will appear at the far right edge of its value region as shown in figure 1.
