Hi!

These methods are built to use them in the builders for classes in Design time only. Never use them in the classes logic. If you want dynamic property getting/setting, do following:

I you have property name in a variable:
lcPropName = "SomeProp"

Than you can read it using, for example,

eval("thisform.MyContainer.MyObject." + m.lcPropName)

And write it using

thisform.MyContainer.MyObject.&lcPropName = lcValue

or, if MyObject supports the AddProperty method,

thisform.MyContainer.MyObject.AddProperty(lcPropName,lcValue)

(AddProperty, if property exists, just change its value).

HTH.
