ph_ccdescribeid PowerHome formula function

Description

Reports the values of properties of a Control Center tab and controls within the tab. Each object in the Control Center tab has a set of properties. You specify one or more properties as a string and ph_ccdescribeid returns the value of the properties.

Syntax

ph_ccdescribeid ( id, propertylist )

Return value

String. Returns a string that includes a value for each property. A newline character (~n) separates the value of each item in propertylist. If propertylist contains an invalid item, ph_ccdescribeid returns an exclamation point (!) for that item and ignores the rest of propertylist. ph_ccdescribeid returns a question mark (?) if there is no value for a property.

Usage

A good starting point for this function is to use a propertylist value of "datawindow.syntax". This will give the complete raw syntax of the tab control including all of its objects. From this listing can be seen the proper syntax for creating new objects as well as modifying existing objects.
