====== MISC property ======

 


 
==== Applies To ====
 
All controls.
 
==== Description ====
 
Returns or sends a string of user-defined data. This string can be used for any purpose you choose, and stays with the specified control until replaced by another string.
 
==== Usage ====
 
//miscdata// = **Get_Property**(//objectname//, "**MISC**")

//existingprop// = **Set_Property**(//objectname//, "**MISC**", //miscdata//)
 
==== Remarks ====
 
Values passed in Set_Property:

^Value^Description^
|//miscdata//|Any string of data, including system delimiters.|

  

To store your own information as a property, you have two choices:  you can use the MISC property, or, you can make up your own property name and prefix it with "@". The advantage of the MISC property is that you can view it in the debugger.

Menu items do not have a MISC property. Instead of using the MISC property for menu items, store the information using a window @-property named after the menu item. For example, in a MENU event, to store information relevant to the particular menu item:

<code>
Prop = "@": CtrlEntID
Set_Property(@window, Prop, SomeData)
</code>

==== Returns ====
 
Values returned by both Get_Property and Set_Property:

^Value^Description^
|//Miscdata//|Any previously set string of data.|
|//existingprop//|Existing user-defined data , when Set_Property was called.|
