Hi,

Was this in actual code or in the Help files? If the Help files it is normally used when a single line of code has been typed over 2 lines in your manual.

In an event handler? The person is probably using a shorthand notation that is slightly deprecated as it does not work in normal Basic+.

Essentially

.ControlName-]Property=Value

is identical to

Call Set_Property(@Window.ControlName, Property, Value)

and Value=.ControlName-]Value

is identical to

Value=Get_Property(@Window.ControlName, Property)

Variants include

Window.Control instead of .Control if you wish to be explicit about the window, and @Variable in place of .Control if you wish to use a variable in place of a literal. So to set the TEXT property of @Window you would use

@@Window-]Text=String"
