Returns a Progress.Reflect.Property instance describing the class property
that matches the specified conditions. If there is no matching property, the method returns
the Unknown value (?).
Return type: Progress.Reflect.Property class
Access: PUBLIC
Applies to: Progress.Lang.Class class
Syntax
GetProperty ( INPUT property-name AS CHARACTER )
GetProperty ( INPUT property-name AS CHARACTER,
INPUT flags AS Progress.Reflect.Flags )
|
-
property-name
- A CHARACTER expression that evaluates to the name of the property.
-
flags
- A Progress.Reflect.Flags instance indicating the access mode(s),
scope(s), and/or class level(s) the returned property must have. See Progress.Reflect.Flags enumeration for more information.
Notes
- If there are one or more overrides of any particular property, the
Progress.Reflect.Property instance describes the override from the most
derived subclass that overrides that property. See GetMethod( ) method for
an example of how overridden class members are handled.
- GetProperty(property-name) only returns public,
non-static properties. GetProperty(property-name,
flags) does return ABL class properties defined as
protected, private, and/or static if they satisfy the specified conditions, although you
cannot get or set the values of any private or protected properties that are returned. A
private property will only be returned if it is defined in the given class; a private
property inherited from a super class will not be returned.
- This method does not return .NET class properties defined as private or internal.
