Dialog Attribute Default Values
Although common attributes have the same type and allowed values for all widgets (or for level-0 widgets or dialogs), they may have different default values for different widgets (or for level-0 widgets or dialogs).
For example, the WIDTH attribute for Type (numeric) and Allowed Values (any integer number) are the same for both METER and BARS. However, the METER widget's WIDTH attribute has a default value of 220 pixels, while the BARS widget's WIDTH attribute has a default value of 250 pixels.
