I think this will work: assign pMyProperty a symbol instead of a string
property pMyProperty, pMyList
on new me
pMyProperty = #thisOne --assign pMyProperty a symbol instead of a string
pMyList = [#notTheOne: [1,1,1], #thisOne: [2,2,2], #notThisOne:
[3,3,3]]
end
on myHandler me
put pMyList.pMyProperty --- this is my problem, it searches for a
string called "pMyProperty" instead of for my property "thisOne"
end

Subject: <lingo-l> property's in property lists
Hello I'm new to this list, my question might had an answer before but I
need help rather quickly.
I want to extract info from a property list using a property. I know
this sounds confusing so I will use an example:
property pMyProperty, pMyList
on new me
pMyProperty = "thisOne"
pMyList = [#notTheOne: [1,1,1], #thisOne: [2,2,2], #notThisOne:
[3,3,3]]
end
on myHandler me
put pMyList.pMyProperty --- this is my problem, it searches for a
string called "pMyProperty" instead of for my property "thisOne"
end
I hope I was clear enough, any help would be appreciated!
Mark
