To change properties of a schema component using the Properties window:

  1. From the IDE main menu, choose Window > Properties.
  2. In the schema design area of the Design view, select the component node.
  3. Make your changes in the Properties window.

To change properties of a schema component using a Properties dialog box:

  1. In the schema design area of the Design view, select the component node.
  2. Right-click and choose Properties from the pop-up menu.
  3. Make your changes in the Properties dialog box and click Close.

To rename a schema component:

  1. In the schema design area of the Design view, double-click the component node.
    The name of the component changes to an editable field.
  2. Type the new name and press Enter.

To delete a schema component:

  1. In the schema design area of the Design view, select the component node.
  2. Right-click and choose Delete from the pop-up menu.
