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) returns all ABL class properties based on the flags specified.
  • This method does not return .NET class properties defined as private or internal.
