I dunno, seems a bit complicated.
I just dug out a stack I made a while back that I popped together to try
and understand customProps (which, oddly enough,
turned out to be extremely simple to understand).
Now on that stack, on its single card there is a button called "CusProp"
which contains 2 customProperties which are
set up through another button with the following script:
on mouseUp
set the porkNbeans of btn "CusProp" to 547
set the custardTart of btn "CusProp" to "Silly Sausage"
set the daftChap of btn "CusProp" to 96
end mouseUp
on opening the prefs palette the customProperties of the btn "CusProp"
can be seen to have come into existence, and their
values filled in.
So, tried to delete them via another button with this script:
on mouseUp
set the customPropertySets of btn "CusProp" to tArray
end mouseUp
which, oddly, only knocked out 'custardTart' . . . so tried this:
on mouseUp
set the customPropertySets of btn "CusProp" to tArray
set the customPropertySet of btn "CusProp" to qArray
end mouseUp
ALL GONE!
What I don't quite understand is why 'set the customPropertySets of btn
"CusProp" to tArray' only removes
the first customProperty, and 'set the customPropertySet of btn
"CusProp" to qArray' by itself removes
nothing at all.

Klaus, a slightly simpler way is to use the fact the "the
customproperties" of an object is an array, so:
put the customproperties of btn "xyz" into tArray
delete variable tArray["propname"]
set the customproperties of btn "xyz" to tArray
Randy, it's worth looking into customPropertySets - "the
customproperties" of an object is just the "current" customPopertySet
of that object.
Best,

Hi Randy,
Hi All,
I've been playing with custom properties over the past several weeks
for pretty much the first time.
I've been able to create, fill, and empty them via script...
however, I've not been to delete one via script. How is that
accomplished?
this is the most cumbersome thingie in the whole Rev universe :-D
Fact is, you have to:
...
put the customkeys of btn "xyz into cp_list
put lineoffset("propname_to_delete",cp_list) into line_nr
delete line line_nr of cp_list
set the customkeys of btn "xyz" to cp_list
...
BTW, has this ever bee bugzilla'd as an enhancement?
take care,
randy hengst
Best
Klaus
