Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
ADM Reference

assignLinkProperty

Sets a property value in one or more SmartObjects at the other end of a specified link, relative to the TARGET–PROCEDURE.

Location: smart.p

Parameters:

INPUT pcLink AS CHARACTER

Link type.

INPUT pcPropName AS CHARACTER

Property name.

INPUT pcPropValue AS CHARACTER

Property value.

Returns: LOGICAL (TRUE if the property set-function succeeded, else FALSE.)

Notes:

This is the Version 9 (ADM2) Version of the set–link–attribute procedure in Version 8. Note that only one property name and value is allowed, as opposed to the attribute-list format of Version 8.
If the property function is not there or is invalid, or if any of the set-functions fail, this function returns FALSE.
Examples:

/* This example code from the updateRecord procedure makes sure that when    an update completes, and the DataModified property is turned off in    the SmartDataViewer which initiated the update, it is also turned off    in all other Viewers which may be linked in a GroupAssign. */ lSuccess = dynamic-function(‘assignLinkProperty’, INPUT    ‘GroupAssign-Target’:U, INPUT ‘DataModified’:U, ‘no’:U).

/* This example will move focus to the first enabled and visible field in    the SmartDataViewer vCust. The handle hvCust would normally be    available in the SmartDataViewer’s container. This statement could    follow a message indicating that values needed to be entered for the    current record, for example.*/ RUN applyEntry IN hvCust (?). /* This example applied focus to a specific field ("City") in a    SmartDataViewer. This could result from field validation failing for    field, for example. See updateRecord in the super procedure    datavis.p for an actual example of how the ADM repositions focus to a    specific field.*/ RUN applyEntry In hvCust ("City":U).
