Just a point of clarification; Ali’s post does not explain how to access the
object properties of a widget. The properties returned by
put the keys of (revIDEExtensionProperties("com.livecode.widget.foo"))
are the intrinsic properties of the widget, which these days are accessible
via the
export widget “foo” to array tBar
command. They are not the ordinary object properties such as its rect,
visibility etc.
My current workaround is to just make up a list of likely properties names, for
example those of a group, deleting the few properties obviously specific to a
group. Unfortunately LC doesn’t respond with a “object does not have this
property” error message if you query any old reserved property key for a
widget. An alternative would be to go through the properties shown in the
Property Inspector deleting the intrinsic properties specific to the widget;
but some intrinsic properties are also common object properties, eg showBorder,
depending on the widget you choose, and further I am not entirely sure that the
Property Inspector actually exposes all the properties of an object (?). It
also lists interdependent properties (loc <- rect) which should not be returned
by the properties function.
