Description

The command hmRep_Get Property Object returns a custom property object variable from the area, the report or a layer. You define the scope with the parameter scope. If the scope object (area, report, page, object, layer) does not exists, the result propertyObject is null. If the object is not null you can use the object to put your private properties in it. The property object is saved with the report! If you load the report into the area, the properties are available again.

You can use the following constants for scopes:
