Container object properties

Container Object properties provide information about container objects and their 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 property value, you use a get function, and to change a property value, 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", OpenEdge Development: Progress Dynamics Basic Development , and OpenEdge Development: Progress Dynamics Advanced Development .
