It seems pretty much like any other program that lets you set property
values (Illustrator, Flash, etc.): the most commonly-used properties are in
the palette, with related ones grouped together in each Inspector pane.

However IDEs are a unique breed, which is why ToolBook and VB also include a
Property Sheet, a single palette that lets you set any property in an
object.

And there's a Property Sheet for Rev too, the 4W_Props plug-in available
through RevNet and at my Revolution Embassy page:
