    \title Specifying Dynamic Properties

    In addition to the properties predefined for QML types, you can specify
    \e {dynamic properties} to add properties that would not otherwise
    exist for a particular type. You bind the properties to dynamic expressions
    to define global properties for an object that can be read by other objects.
    For example, you can specify global properties for the root object that you
    can use in the child objects.

    For example, to specify spacing between UI elements, you could define a
    margin for an object of a QML type that does not have a margin property,
    and then use bindings to refer to the value of the margin property from
    other objects.

    Similarly, you can add dynamic properties at component level.

    You can specify dynamic properties for objects in the
    \uicontrol Connections view.

    To specify dynamic properties for an object:

    \list 1
        \li In the \uicontrol {Connections} view, select the
            \uicontrol {Properties} tab.
        \li Select the \inlineimage plus.png
            (\uicontrol Add) button to add a dynamic property for the currently
            selected item. The item ID is displayed in the \uicontrol Item
            column.
        \li Double-click the value in the \uicontrol Property column to give a
            name to the property.
        \li Double-click the value in the \uicontrol {Property Type} column to
            specify the type of the property.
        \li Double-click the value in the \uicontrol {Property Value} column
            to specify a dynamic expression as the value of the property.
    \endlist
