Custom Properties for Grid, Attributes and Variables

WorkWithPlus provides the possibility to set custom properties to attributes, variables and grid nodes.
These properties allows you to set properties of the grid control, attribute control or variable control in the form that are not available within the instance. It should be used for specific scenarios, as it is an advanced property.

They are available only when in the Options of WorkWithPlus (Tools > Options > WorkWithPlus) the property 'Show Custom Properties' is True.
