Hi Shari,
don't worry, check the MC "Help index" for "Limits"!
Excerpt:
Custom properties per object = uint4 = about 4 GB!
Should be sufficient even for extraordinary needs :-)
Cool!
I haven't reached the heights of extraordinary yet :-) I wanted to
make sure that I wasn't abusing the custom properties in some way
that would make Revolution unhappy. Sometimes you CAN do something
but you SHOULDN'T. I always think of them as a one or two word
storage unit. I had never stored this much data in them before.
you can store EVERYTHING in customproperties, even complete ZIPped
applications,
which makes this an ideal candidate for creating custom installers :-)
I use to put complete stacks into cps:
...
set the myTemplateStack of this stack to url("binfile:/Volumes/Ablage/
pk/Kunstgalerie Bohmte/funnystack.mc")
...
and spit them out if needed with:
...
get the myTemplateStack of this stack
go stack it
...
This avoids the possible hassle of cloning a stack in a standalone :-)
There are so many ways you can store something... in a field, a
global, a custom property... I didn't know if Revolution had some
quirky preferences as to what sort of data got stored in what sort
of way.
The advantage of storing things in cps, especially binary data of all
kind, is that
the engine does not add linefeeds/CR to the data as will happen with
fields.
I'd be amazed if the entire stack gets to be more than 10 MB when
finished.
Thank you, Klaus.
You're welcome!
