Can't set initial value of property

Posted by tbergman on 30-Nov-2016 13:25

The following code does not compile. It seems that it's not possible to set an initial value for a property defined as a .Net enum. Is there something I'm missing?

DEFINE PUBLIC PROPERTY SelectionType AS Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.SelectType
  INITIAL Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.SelectType:Single 
    GET.
    SET.

Sadly that’s not a .NET thing. You cannot set variables or property initial values to type references.

You are not missing anything. That is not allowed for the INITIAL phrase.

Unfortunately the ABL can’t initialize properties that are not ABL primitive value types.
 
You must assign the initial value in the class constructor.
