Comments

Open the dialog box

In the application bar, choose with the quick info text Open Settings Dialog .

A separate area containing the tab pages and other UI elements for setting the properties is displayed above the list.

If the list is displayed as a separate dialog box, you can only see the effects of the new settings when you close the dialog box.

Apply settings and close the dialog box

In the dialog box, choose OK .

The settings are applied to the list. The dialog box is closed.

In the dialog box, choose Cancel.

The settings for the list are not changed. The dialog box is closed.
