DM API METHODS AND PROPERTIES 197
GetMetaPropertyValue
• %Visible is a flag indicating whether or not this Lookup list box
column should be displayed to the user.
• %Data is the value of this column in the current row of the Lookup
data (as opposed to the metadata). For example,
%PropertyName
could return “
AUTHOR_ID”, and %Data could return “J_SMITH”.
For PCDRecentDoc and PCDSearch, each row in the metadata
property list offers the following information:
• %PropertyName is the name of the property as shown on the base
form.
• %Title is the prompt for that field as shown on the base form.
• %Visible is undefined.
• %Data has no meaning.
Note: For compatibility purposes, PCDLookup also supports these property
names as an alternative to the preferred terms shown above: PROPNAME,
TITLE, VISIBLE, and DATA.
Example
The Example in the discussion of the PCDLookup object in Chapter 3
illustrates how you can use the GetMetaPropertyValue method in
custom applications you create.
