Problem with compare two controls by properties

Hi:) I have two buttons, first is on Controlcollection and his Text is changed, second is... Default... Only new Button();. Ok... I want to get property which is changed, because in future i will not know which will be changed, i compare one by one in loop properties... Everything is ok but... Why i get much more than only Text? I get including Padding or Margin?? Do you need code to check where is a problem?

@Kacper... Can you post a snippet of the code so I can see how you are doing the comparisons?

My guess is these are default properties that initial with all buttons created in your project.

Nice! Thanks for including the output. Where is the extra info like padding / margin? I see where Text is blank for one and "change" for the other.
