Purpose of Property Attributes

Specifying attributes in the class definition enables you to customize the behavior of

properties for specific purposes. Control characteristics like access, data storage, and

visibility of properties by setting attributes. Subclasses do not inherit superclass member

attributes.

Specifying Property Attributes

Assign property attributes on the same line as the properties keyword:

properties (Attribute1 = value1, Attribute2 = value2,...)

...

end

For example, give the Data property private access:

properties (Access = private)

Data

end

For more information on attribute syntax, see “Attribute Specification” on page 5-22.

Table of Property Attributes

All properties support the attributes listed in the following table. Attribute values apply to

all properties defined within the properties...end code block that specifies the

nondefault values.
