Note that getting the customProp of an object where the property doesn't exist 
will return <empty> but won't trigger any error. If you want to "catch" this 
then don't use a try statement, do something like

put the myProperty of btn "x" into tProp
if tProp <> empty then
   -- do something with the property
else
   -- handle "error" here
end if
