Property Manager - Option Set Object

Anonymous — Wed, 29 Aug 2018 22:59:35 GMT

Hi,
Is anyone aware if the properties option set can be accessed by GDL? I want to create a legend object (not linked label) which includes all the items of the option set.

I have been able to easily create linked labels referring to element properties, but I have not been able to access the whole option set.

I am thinking maybe using
OPEN ("PROP", "database set name", "[database files]")
Thanks
Tom

As far as I know properties can not be access with GDL.

I think I may be wrong. (wouldn't be the first time )
I know Properties can not access object parameters, but it looks like objects can access properties.

Just looking through the GDL ref guide and I found REQUESTs for ...

REQUEST ("Properties_Of_Parent", propertyType, parentProperties)
REQUEST ("Property_Value_Of_Parent", "id", type, dim1, dim2, propertyValues)
REQUEST ("Property_Name", "id", typeName, groupName, propertyName)

Maybe these will help with what you are wanting?

Barry.

Labels/zone/stamps can access Properties, other types of GDL are not accessible。
I hope that in future versions, GDL objects can also access attribute data, which makes control more flexible.
