    - "contentsHeight, contentsWidth"
      The attribute "contentsHeight" returns the height of an object, for example, the height of a TextEdit text area. The attribute "contentsWidth" again returns the width of a TextEdit text area.
    - "contentsX", "contentsY"
      The attributes contentsX and contentsY return the coordinate of an object, for example, of a TextEdit text or of a tree widget. contentsX returns the X coordinate of the contents (text) that are at the left edge of the view. contentsY returns the Y coordinate of the contents (text) that are at the top edge of the view.
    - "events" (obsolete)
      Gets all events that are available for a shape. Obsolete, use scriptNames instead.
    - "focus"
      The attribute "focus"; returns TRUEif the object has the focus.
    - "font"
      Sets the font of an object.
    - "frameShape"
      The attribute "frameShape" sets the style of an object frame (textEdit frame, a thumb wheel, a tree widget, a zoom navigator , an LCD number or a progress bar).
    - "frameWidth"
      The attribute "frameWidth"; returns the width of a frame (a textEdit, a tree widget, a zoom navigator, LCD number, a thumb wheel etc.)
    - "horizontalScrollBarPolicy" / "hScrollBarMode"
      The attribute "horizontalScrollBarPolicy"; sets the horizontal scroll bar mode of an object, for example, textEdit, tree widget or a table. (Until Version 3.10 "hScrollBarMode")

      The attribute "isActiveWindow"; returns TRUE if this widget is the active window, otherwise FALSE.
    - "loadPanel"
      The function allows to preload panels that are positioned around the current panel. This allows to implement a matrix navigation.
    - "lineWidth"
      The attribute "lineWidth"; sets the width of an object (a textEdit, progress bar, tree widget, zoom navigator, LCD number or a thumb wheel (frame) ) line.
    - "midLineWidth"
      The attribute "midLineWidth" sets the width of the mid line (content) of an object (for example, a thumb wheel, tree widget, zoom navigator, LCD number or a progress bar).
    - "ModuleName"
      In the case of an embedded module, this attribute is used to specify the module name in which a panel opens. From version 3.5 up, Canvas ActiveX is replaced by Embedded Module.
    - "newPanelAnimDuration", "oldPanelAnimDuration"
      The attributes "newPanelAnimDuration" and "oldPanelAnimDuration" specify how long an animation will last.
    - "newPanelAnimateOpacity", "oldPanelAnimateOpacity"
      The attributes "newPanelAnimateOpacity" and "oldPanelAnimateOpacity" specify whether the opacity of an embedded module should be animated.

      The attributes "newPanelEasingCurve" and "oldPanelEasingCurve" specify the type of the animation curve (Ease of curve).
    - "panelGridMode"
      The function allows to enable the panel grid mode and therefore the preloading of panels and the touch matrix navigation.
    - "scrollToPanel"
      Allows to scroll to a specific panel when using the panel grid mode.
    - "updatesEnabled"
      This attribute specifies whether updates of a widget (for example, a textEdit, slider, progress bar, zoom navigator, LCD number or thumb wheel) have been enabled.
    - "verticalScrollBarPolicy" / "vScrollBarMode"
      The attribute "verticalScrollBarPolicy" sets the vertical scroll bar mode of an object e.g. of a textEdit, a tree widget or a table. (Until Version 3.10 "vScrollBarMode")
    - "visibleHeight"
      This property holds the vertical amount of the content that is visible.
    - "visibleWidth"
      This property holds the horizontal amount of the content that is visible.
    - "x", "y"
      The attributes x and y return the coordinate of an object (e.g. a textEdit, a progress bar, a slider, a zoom navigator, an LCD number or a thumb wheel). x returns the X coordinate of an object. y returns the Y coordinate of an object.
