Property Elements are a subgroup of the elements in the Oblivion XML schema, always found as children of Menu Elements. Loosely put, property elements define the properties of their parent element - position on the screen, color, texture, etc. In this sense they are similar to traditional xml traits.
There are two basic data types for properties - numeric and string. A number of Oblivion-specific XML entities are defined for commonly used constants of both types. Particularly useful are the numeric entities &true; and &false;, used to simulate boolean properties.
Property elements may contain literal values, or a set of Operator Elements as children (but not both). When the menu is rendered, the Oblivion parser evaluates each property element to obtain the value of the property (see the operator element page for a description on how they are evaluated). If a menu element contains more than one property element of the same type, the last one defined will take precedence. If it contains no property elements for an applicable property, the default value is used (usually zero or the empty string).
General
Properties which any menu element of any type might define.
- ID
- User#
Sizeable
Properties defining the size and screen position of a menu element, and possibly its children.
- X,Y
- Height, Width
- Locus
Visible
Properties for any menu element with a visible effect, i.e. Image and Text elements. Note, however, that setting the Visible property to false on any element will hide all of it's children.
- Visible

- Depth
- Clips
Mouse Targetable
Properties for any menu elements that can be the focus of mouse events, i.e. the Image and Rect elements.
- Target
- Clicksound
- Mouseover
Textured
Properties specific to the Image Element
- Filename
- Zoom
- CropX,CropY
Text
Properties specific to the Text Element
- Red, Green Blue

- Wrapwidth
Menu
Properties specific to the Menu Element
- Class
- Stackingtype
- Menufade
