Hi Grigore,


I am not sure if I understand your question, just wanted to say that I do not use public properties, I always use protected properties and add a pair of get and set functions which I use to access or change it's values, although it is much more code, I find it better for me, for example:

loMyInstance		= CREATEOBJECT('myProject.myOLEClass')
IF NOT loMyInstance.setStatus('Instantiated')
	? loMyInstance.getLastError()
ENDIF


define class myOLEClass as Session OLEPUBLIC
	PROTECTED Status as String
	PROTECTED LastError as String
	
	FUNCTION getStatus() as String
		RETURN this.Status
	ENDFUNC
	
	FUNCTION setStatus(newStatus as String) as boolean

		IF VARTYPE(newStatus) = 'C' && and some other conditions
			this.Status		= newStatus
			RETURN .t.
		ENDIF
		this.LastError	= 'Invalid parameter passed to setStatus'
		RETURN .f.
	ENDFUNC
	
	FUNCTION getLastError() as String
		RETURN this.LastError
	ENDFUNC
	
	PROCEDURE Init() as VOID
		this.Status		= 'Ready'
		this.LastError	= ''
	ENDPROC
ENDDEFINE
