Description

Both the dynamic properties of the OCX container widget and the native properties of the OCX control can be set in ProcScript using $fieldproperties. The properties of the OCX container widget are recognized by Uniface and passed to the widget. The other properties are passed to the OCX control.

During development, the static set of native attributes of the OCX control are stored in the form component. This set is sent to the OCX control after the control instance is created (and after each property modification, if this property is set to On Each Property Modification).

However, if this property is set to On Creation Time Only, you can use ProcScript to set the autostart property as follows: 

$fieldproperties("MY_OCX_FIELD.MY_ENTITY") = "autostart=true"

Using in ProcScript

This is a static property. It cannot be set in ProcScript.
