Description
User defined variables to store control-specific data, such as the number of times a button was clicked. If you prefix the name of a property with the at sign (@), the property is a user-defined property. There is no limit to the number of user defined properties.
Usage
value = Get_Property(objectname, '@propertyname' )
retval = Set_Property(objectname, '@propertyname', value)
Example
/* In the CLICK event of BUTTON_SEARCH, increment the user-defined @COUNTER property each time the button was clicked. Display the number of clicks in the edit line EL_COUNTER. */ cntr = Get_Property(@window : '.BUTTON_SEARCH', '@COUNTER') cntr += 1 retval = Set_Property(@window : '.BUTTON_SEARCH', '@COUNTER', cntr) retval = Set_Property(@window : '.EL_COUNTER','DEFPROP','The search button was clicked ' : cntr: ' times.') </pre?
