Greetings!

I would like to pass objects and properties to library functions that will manipulate the values, and want to know the best or "right" way to do it.

Here's one way I came up with:

oApp = CREATEOBJECT("testproc")
oVar = CREATEOBJECT("testobj")

oApp.TestObj(oVar, "nVar")
? oVar.nVar

DEFINE CLASS TestProc AS CUSTOM
	PROCEDURE TestObj
	PARAMETERS oObj1, cVar
	oObj1.&cVar = oObj1.&cVar + 1
ENDDEFINE

DEFINE CLASS TestObj AS CUSTOM
	nVar = 0
ENDDEFINE

The TestObj procedure in the TestProc class simply increments the property in the passed object. The object is passed as-is, and the property is passed as a character string.

This appears to work, but is this the proper way to do it? If not, how else does one send not only the object as a parameter, but a property as well, so that any changes will be reflected outside the procedure?

Thanks!
