About stack "table of properties of objects"

Post by Partenaire » Tue May 01, 2012 8:27 am

Hi,

In learning stack "Revolution scripting conférence : properties" Dan Safer said "You can find a free stack of dennis Brown call "Table of properties of objects" on revonline...

I find it unsuccessfully.
Anyone know where is it possible to find this stack

Thank You

Eric

Hi Eric,

I don't know about that stack, but you can find a stack SmartProperties in the Plugins submenu of the Development menu.

Kind regards,

It seems that the original RevOnline is no longer up and running, but you can still get a list of the properties associated with an object..
  • open the Dictionary (either click the button on the toolbar, or Help > Dictionary)
  • open the "Object" section in the left-hand column
  • select an object and you will see a list of properties and messages available for that object

here you can see a partial listing of the properties for the Stack object

You can always use the propertyNames function to get a complete list of the built-in properties, but it will not break them down by object. If you really need something to show you all the properties for all the objects let me know and I will make something for you.

The dictionary will show all properties by object too. Choose any object in the left-hand list and all its properties and relevant commands are displayed.

Another way is to show everything (click the All button at the top of the left-side list) and then sort the entries by the object column.

As I previously mentioned, but as he replied he does not use the built-in dictionary..
