Form Designer: ability to see the type of gadget selected

[Keya]

Hello, unless im mistaken there doesn't seem to be any way when clicking on a gadget to see what TYPE of gadget it is??? (ListIcon, ListView...)

Often when i come back to a form weeks or months later i cannot tell if my list is a ListIcon or ListView... my text control a String or Edit gadget, etc, and currently my only way of figuring out which is to make a dummy control and compare if its properties list is the same type, or switch over to the Form Objects list and visually compare its icon, both two very slow ways of getting information that should be available instantly

The Form Designer already knows what type it is of course because it brings up the correct properties list for each, so it would be good if it also mentioned what the gadget type was... perhaps where it has "Properties" in that list it could simply say "Properties (ListView gadget)" etc ? or something similar

Thankyouuu

Well, you can tell which-is-which for many gadget types because the type name is on the gadget graphic, but I agree 'Gadget Type' should indeed be at the top of the properties list. Also, all gadgets should have a border of some kind so that you can visually see their extent (ImageGadget, Checkbox and Option for example).
