Remarks

MISC is a convenient way to store application-specific data against an object at design time as well as runtime. If MISC is not sufficient then more data can be stored against an object at runtime using a UDP (User-Defined Property), also known as an '@' Property.

Example

 
* // MISC property example

   

   $Insert Logical

   Call Set_Property_Only( "SYSTEM", "MISC", UserSettings )

   

   * // Save customer data in the MISC property of the current

   * // window

   Call Set_Property_Only( @Window, "MISC", CustomerData )

   

   * // Do some processing ...

   

   * // ...and retrieve the data from MISC

   CustomerData = Get_Property( @Window, "MISC" )
