Property Palette is where you set the properties of objects you create in form and menu modules.
Visual Attributes are font, color, and pattern properties that you set for form and menu objects that appear in your application interface. In this you can change the font name, font size, width..background color, foreground color...

Object Group is a container for a group of objects. If you want to package related objects so you can copy or subclass them in other module

We can change the visual attributes dynamically by using API but we can not change the property pallet dynamically. if we have property pallet and visual attribute for the same action of an item proper pallet will over ride the visual attribute properties.

Property Class is a named object that contains a list of properties and their values. While property palette is the place where we can examine, customize and put new properties for the object. Property Class is used for maintaining some standards within a form.

Property Palette (pane in the Developer window): Each object in the form module has a property associated to it. A Developer can view/set properties for one/multiple object.

Visual attribute: Is a list of font, color and pattern properties and their values. This visual attribute can be attached to various objects to define object’s visual attributes

Object Group: An object group is a container for a group of objects; You define an object group when you want to package related objects, so that you copy or reference them in other modules.

Property pallete is used to apply changes to only that object item, as visual attributes are used in more generic manner. Visual attributes are used  in the projects in which common specifications will be decided about the appearance of the objects/item and once visual attribute defenition is already created and applied to the items. These can be changed dynamically through APIs
