Whether returning multiple properties from an object, or passing multiple properties to an object, we use the same mechanism. We use a Property Bag object. This is similar to a SCATTER NAME object and is an object which contains properties relating to each item of informtation. You simply add the properties to the object as they are required.Local loPropertyBag, loForm loPropertyBag = CreateObject("clsPropertyBag") With loPropertyBag .AddProperty("NewProperty1", "New Value 1") .AddProperty("NewProperty2", "New Value 1") EndWith loForm = CreateObject("frmNewForm", loPropertyBag) In VFP9 a suitable candidate for the Property Bag would be the Empty class: Local loPropertyBag loPropertyBag = CreateObject("Empty") ADDPROPERTY(loPropertyBag, "Property1", "Value1")
I think collections would be a consideration as well, if you're using at least VFP8.
