Hi Andrew,

I think you're making it unnecessarily difficult. There are custom properties and handlers. A custom property is saved in a stack and contains data. A handler is a script. Such a script can set custom properties, but not necessarily. Also, if you pass a setprop message, a property will be set after the script is run. I never considered a getprop or setprop handler virtual, it is just another script. A mouseUp message that isn't passed doesn't suddenly become virtual, does it?

I recently decided that my code would be cleaner and not so buggy if I used custom properties and property handlers more often instead of global arrays and the functions like Percent2Decimal, Validate, yaddayadda to manipulate
them.


Given that, I just don't get the real difference between virtual properties
and custom properties. Here is what I do get.

Virtual Properties allow you to set/handle other properties without actually
storing a value? Correct?

Can't you do this in custom properties too? or are they considered virtual
when you start doing that?

Anything else I should have an understanding of in regards to virtual
properties? The above is the limit of my assumptions when it comes to the
differences between custom and virtual.


Thanks for the help,

Andrew Kluthe
