As I'd written, it returns all properties which are returned in "the

get the properties of button 1
This includes read-only properties like ID.
If you find any properties not returned by that function submit a
Bugzilla report and when they fix it in the engine it'll automatically
work in 4W Props too.
Actually, quite a few properties aren't reported by the properties
property. I quote:
"Not every property is included in the properties property. The
following types of properties are excluded:
* Read-only properties
* The script property and custom properties
* Synonyms: Only one synonym for each property is included.
* Duplicates: Properties that are functionally duplicated by other
properties are not included. For example, the rectangle property is
included, but not the height, width, top, bottom, left, right, or
location properties, because you can derive all of them from the
object's rectangle.
* Properties other than object properties: Global properties, local
properties, properties of a character or chunk in a field, and
adjectives such as short that are implemented internally as properties
are all excluded.
* Others: Some other properties are excluded."
I can't remember offhand what the "some other properties" were at the
time that was written. If I recall correctly, the properties property
was implemented specifically to make the Profile Manager possible, and
Kevin wanted the flexibility to exclude properties if need be for that
reason.
Thanks for the background.
Duplicates don't bother me, and although it is a property I've always
treated the script separately.
In the absence of "the properties" actually returning the properties,
where might one find such a list so I can add those to 4W Props?
