SetObjectProperty method (WinStudio scripts)

Applies To

IWSIDOCollection interface

Definition

Sets an object property in a specified IDO collection to a specified value.

Syntax

object.SetObjectProperty( string1, integer, string2 )


Part	Description
`object`	Required. A reference to a valid IDO collection object.
`string1`	Required. The name of the object property.
`integer`	Required. The index number of an object in the current collection.
`string2`	Required. The value to be assigned to the object property.

Remarks

This method does not mark the property as "modified" or notify dependents (such as components bound to the property) to refresh.

Note: The difference between this and the SetObjectPropertyInternal method is that this one sets the value to an interpretable value that might, for instance, be localized, whereas the SetObjectPropertyInternal method sets it to a system internal value.

This is particularly applicable to date/time values. Localized date values can be displayed, for example, as dd/mm/yyyy, mm/dd/yyyy, or mm/dd/yy. When such a value is used, the system tries to interpret the appropriate display value for the property. A system internal value, however, uses the format yyyy/mm/dd, and it never changes. So, to use the internal value, your input value must conform to this format.
