# Advanced Modify Source Dialog

Use to modify the way initialization code is generated in the GUI Builder's blue guarded blocks. Additionally, you can also write custom code that is added to the initialization code.

The IDE enables you to initialize property values from:

- A static value you define
- A component written to the JavaBeans architecture
- A property of another component on the form
- A call to a method of the form or one of its components. You can choose from a list of methods that return the appropriate data type.
- Code you defined that is included in the generated code

Follow these steps to open the Advanced Modify Source Dialog:
