Hi,
difference s :
property class - can be used to set different properties for text items,display items etc by using add on the property class sheet where as
visual attribute - u can set only the backround color and foreground color properties.

All the best

Thanks Ani,

Can you please descibe more that how both are different in inheritance?
Can we inherit visual attributes from one module to another without using property classes?
Can we change them at runtime?

Thanks and Regards
Ravi

Hi,
1. Both can be subclassed or copied to different applications from one form to another.
2. Property class s used in place of a property sheet of a text/display item. u can set the properties of your own choice and use them across your form.
3. use can use visual attibute dynamically.1st create a visual attibute of your choice.
use set_item_property('text_name',visual_property,'va_name').
4. it s better to copy the visual attribute from one form to another than to subclass it .

all the best
ani
