GetMetaPropertyValue

%Visible

is a flag indicating whether or not this Lookup list box

column should be displayed to the user.

%Data

is the value of this column in the current row of the Lookup

data (as opposed to the metadata). For example,

%PropertyName

could return “

AUTHOR_ID

”, and

%Data

could return “

J_SMITH

”.

For

PCDRecentDoc

and

PCDSearch

, each row in the metadata

property list offers the following information:

%PropertyName

is the name of the property as shown on the base

form.

%Title

is the prompt for that field as shown on the base form.

%Visible

is undefined.

%Data

has no meaning.

Note: For compatibility purposes, PCDLookup also supports these property
names as an alternative to the preferred terms shown above: PROPNAME,
TITLE, VISIBLE, and DATA.

Example

The

Example

in the discussion of the

PCDLookup

object in Chapter 3

illustrates how you can use the GetMetaPropertyValue method in
custom applications you create.
