The
widget-reference is a reference to a handle-based object (see
Handle-basedreferences). The
attribute-name specifies the ABL-defined name of a handle-based object attribute. The
container-widget-name is a name reference to a static container for a static widget. You need it only if the static widget reference is ambiguous without it, as shown in the following example. For more information on accessing attributes, see
Accessing handle attributes and methods.
To read an attribute value, assign the attribute value to a field or variable of a compatible data type, pass the attribute as an input parameter to some procedure, function, or method, or include the attribute in an expression. To write an attribute value, assign the value to the attribute or pass the attribute as an output parameter to some procedure, function, or method.
