Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
ADM Reference

> ## Field object properties

> Field object properties provide information about field objects and its classes. This information can include whether an object is enabled, the contents of the object and so on. You can read property values and in many instances you can change property values. To read a value for a property, you use a `get` function, and to change a value for a property, you use a`set` function.

> These functions conform to the following conventions:

> - `get` — Uses the form `getpropname` and returns the current value of the property

> Note: This function accepts no arguments.

> - `set` — Uses the form `setpropname`. The set function accepts a single argument—the new value for the property—and returns TRUE/FALSE depending on whether the value change succeeds.

> For more information about getting and setting property values, see Chapter 1, " ADM2 SmartObject API Reference."

> The following section lists and describes the Field object properties that you can use with the get and set functions. The description also identifies the properties for which you can read and write (change) a value and the properties for which you can only read the value.
