Not pedestrian at all. I just tried to post a simple example that
would do something useful. I use your technique all the time by having
an "Initialize" method in my objects, although I would have coded your
example as:
setProp editMode pMode
set the enabled of button "Save" to pMode
set the enabled button "TextColor" to pMode
set the lockText of fld "myfld" to pMode
set the traversalOn of fld "myFld" to pMode
end editMode
Yes, of course this is much better if your property is boolean.
Thanks for pointing out an efficiency that should have been obvious. :-)
...you only need to pass editMode if you need to set the real custom
property and want to query it later on.
By 'set the real custom property' do you mean actually changing the
custom prop's value? Wouldn't you want to go ahead and set it in most
cases, except when you are intercepting an illegal value, for instance?
