PropertyFinder

Written for CEGUI 0.7

---

Works with versions 0.7.x (obsolete)

Introduction

This code creates a tool to list the properties associated with the widgets of a scheme. It loads the .scheme files from within the Scheme directory and displays the widgets defined within that scheme. Selecting a widget will list every property associated to that widget by default. And selecting a property will display its help.

Please discuss this snippet within the Property Finder thread. The properties for widgets are presented in Property reference for TaharezLook, Property reference for WindowsLook, Property reference for Vanilla and Property reference for OgreTray. The CEGUI API also lists the properties.
