Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for property dependency visualization. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for property dependency visualization can be provided. The method can include detecting a proximity event for a control in a user interface (UI) and determining a dependency relationship between a property for the control and at least one other property for at least one control in the UI. Thereafter, a view of the dependency relationship can be rendered in connection with the control for which the proximity event is detected. In this way, tracking dependencies in a large form of a multiplicity of controls can be facilitated.

Abstract: A system for indicating a default value for a property of a selected object to a user within a graphical user interface (GUI) of a program module is provided. The property has a value and a state that can be set. The state of the property is one of a default state and a user-set state. The value of the property is assigned the default value when the state is the default state. The system comprises a GUI control having first, second, and third interface elements. The first interface element is configured to indicate the value of the property to the user. The second interface element is configured to indicate the state of the property to the user. The third interface element is configured to indicate the default value for the property to the user when the state of the property is the user-set state.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system, and program product for indicating a state of a value of an application. Specifically, under the present invention a graphical state indicator is displayed for a property (e.g., background screen color) of an application. The graphical state indicator will indicate a “state” of a value of the property. That is, the graphical state indicator will indicate whether the value is a user-defined value, or is a default value. Under the present invention, a graphical state indicator can be provided for any property of the application. As such, multiple graphical state indicators may be simultaneously displayed. The present invention can also display a graphical value indicator for indicating the current value (e.g., blue) of the property (e.g., background screen color). This value can be changed based upon an interaction with the graphical value indicator by a user.
