To run this code, place a command button named cmdListProperties on a form and paste the following code into the form's Declarations section. Click the command button to print the list of properties in the Debug window.

Private Sub cmdListProperties_Click()
    ListControlProps Me
End Sub
Public Sub ListControlProps(ByRef frm As Form)
    Dim ctl As Control
    Dim prp As Property
    On Error GoTo props_err
    For Each ctl In frm.Controls
        Debug.Print ctl.Properties("Name")
        For Each prp In ctl.Properties
            Debug.Print vbTab & prp.Name & _
                " = " & prp.Value
        Next prp
    Next ctl
props_exit:
    Set ctl = Nothing
