How to add a container object in a station global in a vb.net application

[radlou]

to summarize I want to add a container object in a station global in a vb.net application.

I managed to add a string and a number with PropertyObject.SetValNumber and PropertyObject.SetValString but I failed to add a container object because I dont find a suitable Property?

Hi Radlou

You have use PropertyObject.SetPropertyObject(...)

You like to add? Tell me how you have created your container?

Hi Radlou,

Yes you can !

1. Step is to create the Container

Locals.objContainer =ThisContext.Engine.NewPropertyObject(PropValType_Container,False,"",0)

2. Add Subentrys to the Container

Locals.objContainer.AsPropertyObject.SetValString("strHello",PropOption_InsertIfMissing,"HelloWorld"),

Locals.objContainer.AsPropertyObject.SetValString("strName",PropOption_InsertIfMissing,"Juergen")

3. Add it to Station Globals

ThisContext.AsPropertyObject().SetPropertyObject("StationGlobals.MyStuff",PropOption_InsertIfMissing, Locals.objContainer)

Best would be a screeshoot

Hope this Helps
