Properties Information window
The Properties Information window displays object Property names for a selected object on the Dataflow window. When no object is selected, the window displays all properties accessible for the objects in the EV file. Many properties are supported for Read-write access. Other properties may be supported for Read-only access. Under a licensed Automation module the Property names may be used (via the Properties Action) in the Console window or with automation scripts.
Some Property names can be used within an object name when you specify a dynamic name for a supported Echoview object. Suitable property names are those that have numeric or text value.
To view the Properties Information window, on the View menu, select Properties Information.
To use the Properties Information window, on the Dataflow window select a dataflow object. The Properties Information window displays available Property names for a selected object.
Properties Information is displayed under Command interface object types and associated Properties dialog box based page types. Some Property names may appear under the Unspecified category.
Click a property name and on the right-click (Shortcut) menu, choose a copy option. The available options provide different formats of the property name for specific uses:
- Copy (Ctrl+C) copies the property name as displayed.
- Copy for Console (Ctrl+Shift+C) copies the property name without spaces, suitable for use in the Console or COM scripts that use EvApplication.Exec().
- Copy for Dynamic Name (Ctrl+Alt+C) copies the property name formatted with braces (e.g., {PropertyName}) for use in a Dynamic name.
Next, Paste into a Console command line, Dynamic name section of the Variable Properties dialog box or script. The syntax for a dynamic property within Dynamic name text is to enclose the dynamic property name in braces (curly brackets). The Console and Dynamic name Copy keyboard shortcuts are supported only under the Properties Information window. Clipboard content may be pasted inside or outside of Echoview.
