Remarks
You can create a user-defined
Property object only in the
Properties collection of an object that is persistent.
If you omit one or more of the optional parts when you use CreateProperty, you can use an appropriate assignment statement to set or reset the corresponding property before you append the new object to a collection. After you append the object, you can alter some but not all of its property settings. See the Name, Type, and Value property topics for more details.
If name refers to an object that is already a member of the collection, a run-time error occurs when you use the
Append method.
To remove a user-defined
Property object from the collection, use the
Delete method on the
Properties collection. You can't delete built-in properties.
Note
If you omit the DDL argument, it defaults to False (non-DDL). Because no corresponding DDL property is exposed, you must delete and re-create a Property object that you want to change from DDL to non-DDL.
