Description

Get_Property() returns an object that was set as receiver of messages sent through the OpenEngine C interface.

Set_Property() sets a control indicated in object (only an edit box is supported) as a receiver of data sent through the OpenEngine C interface using the Send_Dyn method.

Some stored procedures, like RLIST (with target of 1), LIST_USERS, and most of the system procedures marked as Command Line, send their data to a client program, like the system editor, using a method called Send_Dyn. To support the capture of this information, the RECEIVER property specifies an edit box control that will receive the information.

Usage

object = Get_Property ("SYSTEM", "RECEIVER")

oldobject = Set_Property ("SYSTEM", "RECEIVER", newobject)
