How can I make a property for custom control?
Hello,
How can I make a property for custom control
with such requirements:
1. It should not be shown in Control's Property List;
2. It should be visible in Syntax Builder window, when you try to get its value.
For example: List control has property "alldataelements";
Thanks in Advance

Hi Sergey,
You need to add the DESIGN attribute, set to N to your property definition in your controls.xml file. For example:
< PROPERTY ATTRTYPE="General" CAPTION="Is active part selected?" CTRLTYPE="TEXT" REQUIRED="N" NM="ACTIVE" DESIGN="N" GET="active" />

Inappropriate?Hi Tom,
I have tried it,
But it does not meet second requirement. -
Inappropriate?Sorry it looks like I missed a step. You also need to set the GET attribute property to the runtime name you want the property to have. Generally as a convention we set this to the same as the NM attribute but lower case.
< PROPERTY ATTRTYPE="General" CAPTION="Is active part selected?" CTRLTYPE="TEXT" REQUIRED="N" NM="ACTIVE" DESIGN="N" GET="active" />

Yes I got your email thanks Sergey. It looks like there is an error in your controls.xml in the custom control jar you sent me. The property definitions for your runtime properties are appearing outside of your properties node. The designer will ignore these elements unless they are inside the properties node. I'll email you the correction.

Inappropriate?It is working now.
Thanks Tom!
