Linked Properties

Linked properties are properties which are linked to properties that are provided by a function package.

A property can be linked to a function package property when you define it. To do this, the property must be selected from the list displayed under the corresponding function package in the property creation menu.

The corresponding function package's property provider supplies the list of linked properties in the property creation menu.

With linked properties, values are not internally maintained by AWM during run time. When a property value of a linked property is needed during run time, AWM forwards the request to the corresponding function package. The function package can then provide or set the property value.

The function package can also provide methods to automatically refresh the linked properties on changes in order to keep the AWM application’s linked properties in sync with changes to the properties from outside AWM.
