OpenInsight uses a type-less programming language, and SRP has designed the SRP OLE Controls to fit neatly into the BASIC+ environment. Still, types can be useful in communicating what information is acceptable to a certain OLE control property. Therefore, SRP documents the type of information a property accepts. This is a useful way to provide a single place to document common property values that appear in many properties across many controls.
