Hi Jason,

Sorry for me being so irritating, but I'd rather ask many questions and know
I'm on the right track than having you or me have to redo stuff later.

1) To make sure we are thinking along the same lines, I assume that you want
me to add the MacroBegin and MacroEnd properties to the TIB_Connection
component (or one of it's base classes). Then when you connect a TIB_Script
component to the TIB_Connection, it must set it's own MacroBegin and
MacroEnd properties equal to that of the TIB_Connection.

2) If the above statement is what you want, do you want me to add another
boolean property to TIB_Script like "ParentMacro" which tell's the control
to always use the TIB_Connection's macro properties.

3) If the above statement is also true, the TIB_Connection component will
have to send a windows message which all the TIB_Script components will have
to catch in order to update their own properties.


Thanks for all your patience.

-Don

Rather than at the session level I would prefer they be on the connection
level.
This should make your job a little easier. Keep in mind this is the default
and that the script or statement component will still be able to override
the default set on the connection.

The reason you put a IsStored function in the stored clause of a property
declaration is so that you can suppress the default condition from being
written into the DFM. This not only save on EXE size but it also increases
form load time.

Being a component developer entails thinking of things from a lot of
different angles...
