The LC 6.7.5 dictionary entry for setProp has the following: If the custom property you want to control is in a custom property set, use array notation in the first line of the setProp handler, as in the following example:
setProp mySet[thisProperty] newValue if thisProperty is "that" then put newValue into me end setProp The above setProp handler responds to changes in the custom property named "that", which is a member of the custom property set named "mySet". First, this example throws a syntax error in the IDE script editor, I think because last line should be "end mySet" vs "end setProp". Second, it appears you can NOT have individual setProp handlers for custom properties in custom property sets. I.e. if mySet contain the customer properties "that" and "this" and "those", I can not have: setProp mySet["this"] tValue -- do something end mySet["this"] setProp mySet["that"] tValue -- do something else end mySet["that"] and so on. It appears you can only have a single setProp for the whole custom property set as in: setProp mySet[whichproperty] tValue switch whichproperty case "this" -- do something break case "that" -- do something else break ... end switch end mySet Is this true? Is there a way to have individual setprop handlers for specific properties in a custom property set? The lask of clean, easy to read, setProp handlers for properties in a custom property set would seem to reduce the value of custom property sets for organizing groups of properties. Perhaps it is better to just have all properties in the default property set? _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
