    Recurse Properties

    Hi

    On my top node I have added a Property.
    This Property is now visible on all the sub nodes.
    But I don't want to write text in the property every time I create a new node, because it should be the same every time for all sub nodes.

    So, can I make the value recurs down to all sub nodes?
    If not is it possible to say something like [#topnode.property] (It's is used to send a value to a UserControl)?

    or how should I do this?

    While writing this I think that i could maybe do it in the UserControl with something like this:
    Pseudo:
    if node.property = "" then
     Variable = topnode.property
    else
     Variable = node.property

    What is your opinion on this approach?

    /Lars

    I think the syntax for a recursive parameter is [$YourPropertyAlias] but I'm not 100% sure. Try it out.

    Hi Lars,

    You can find info on paramter syntax, including recursive paramters, at the following location

    Many thanks
