ObjectRevision
property for PowerScript controls
Applies to
MLSynchronization and MLSync objects
Description
Specifies the build number for synchronization property values that
are stored in the client registry.
Usage
When you deploy a new version of an application that includes a
wizard-generated synchronization object, you can make sure that values for
synchronization object properties are written to the application user’s
registry by incrementing the value of the ObjectRevision property. Code in
the synchonization object’s Contructor event checks the value of this
property against the value stored during a previous
synchronization.
If the value of the ObjectRevision property is higher than the value
stored in the registry, property values of the synchronization object are
written to the registry, replacing any values previously stored there. The
property values written to the registry are: AdditionalOpts, DownloadOnly,
ExtendedOpts, Host, LogFileName, LogOpts, MLServerVersion, MLUser,
ObjectRevision, Port, Publication, UploadOnly, UseLogFile, and
UseWindow.
Secured properties such as AuthenticateParms, DBPass, and
EncryptionKey are never written to the registry.
In a painter
On the Settings tab of the Properties view for an MLSync object,
type the value you want for the ObjectRevision property in the Object
Revision Number text box.
In scripts
The following code is similar to code in the Constructor event of
the MLSync object generated by the MobiLink synchronization wizard. It
checks the ObjectRevision value against the revision number stored in the
registry. If the registry value is less than the value of the
ObjectRevision value, the object’s synchronization properties are written
to the registry. Otherwise, the synchronization object retrieves the
values stored in the registry:
