Adding and Removing Custom Properties

Custom properties incorporate variables that you can reference in component expressions or procedures.

1. Add custom properties to components. Components can contain expressions that are assigned in parameter sets or that are evaluated at runtime.

   1. In the Design window, select the component.

   2. In the Property window, right-click and select Add.

   3. Enter the name for the property. Do not use reserved JavaScript keywords. Inside the component, this property is referenced using the variable REF.<name of property>.

   4. In the Prompt field, enter a value to appear as the label for this property in the Properties window.

   5. In the Description field, enter a description to be used in the property tooltip.

   6. Click OK.
2. Remove the custom properties of a component and all references to the associated variables.

   1. In the Property window, right-click the custom property and select Remove.

   2. Click OK to confirm.
