Modeling

I'm not going through the implementation of a modeling scenario, only presenting the new UI capabilities.

3. Edit the Image (new) property of the Button in the dialog. In this case I am referring to the URL of my desired icon.

5. Edit the Title (Visibility / Text) and Toolbar (Visibility / Location) properties of the Grid View as needed. Note that in VC5 a Top Toolbar is presented together with the Title.
