Usage

setProp list, property, newValue
list.listProperty = newValue
list[listProperty] = newValue

Description

Command; in a list, replaces the value assigned to a specified property with a new value. If the list does not contain the specified property, setProp returns a script error.

The setProp command works with property lists only. Using setProp with a linear list produces a script error.

This command is similar to the setaProp command, except that setProp returns an error when the property is not already in the list.

Parameters

property Required. A symbol (Lingo only) or a string that specifies the property whose value is replaced by newValue.

newValue Required. The new value for the property specified by property.

Example

This statement changes the value assigned to the age property of property list x to 11:

--Lingo
setProp x, #age, 11

// Javascript
x[age] = 11 

Using the dot operator, you can alter the property value of a property already in a list, exactly as above:

x.age = 11
