How to Specify a Value for a Custom Property

SUMMARY

In Visual FoxPro version 3.0, when you create a custom property in the form designer, there is no place to specify the value for the custom property. You can, however, specify the custom property name and description in the custom property dialog box.

When you finish creating the custom property name, before you can see it, you need to make sure you are selecting the top-most container, which depends on whether are you creating a Form or a Formset. When you select the top-most container, you can see the newly created custom property name at the bottom of the Other or All tab in the properties sheet. Then you can set the value there. That value becomes the default value when the property is used.
