Some properties, such as Font, have special property editors. Such properties appear with ellipsis marks (...) next to their values when the property is selected in the Object Inspector. To open the property editor, double-click in the Value column, click the ellipsis mark, or type Ctrl+Enter when focus is on the property or its value. With some components, double-clicking the component on the form also opens a property editor. 

Property editors let you set complex properties from a single dialog box. They provide input validation and often let you preview the results of an assignment.
