Referencing collections bound to forms or grids

WinStudio provides a shorthand notation for referencing collections that are bound to a form or a grid. The form's primary collection is referred to as “objects”. The form's first secondary collection is referred to as “objects2”; the form's second secondary collection is referred to as “objects3”; and so on.

This notation is also used to reference individual properties from these collections. A property on the primary collection is referenced as “object.” property_name; a property on the first secondary collection is referenced as “object2.” property_name; and so on.

Subcollections are referenced by a subcollection property of the parent collection. The parent collection is referenced using the notation mentioned already. For instance, a property in a subcollection of the form's primary collection would be referenced by “object.” subcollection_name.property_name.
