funny I was also checking the same stack!

the hilite was this...

on deleteprop
  get the hilitedLines of field "Properties"
  if it is not empty
  then delete variable newvalues[line it of field "Properties"]
end deleteprop

Well, after your email, i dig into the script of the
"Custom Properties" stack. there is 2 main handlers called
setprops and getprops. they do the job, mainly by passing the
properties into a field and then  "refilling" a hash before setting
again the selected Set.

so, the answer is there: same kind of job to do this for a whole Set
or for just a property.

all the best and thanks,
thierry

  | There must be support for the deletion of one property set at a time.

  | 
  | Is deleting just one property from a customproperty set just as hard?
  | 
  | Im asking as Im working on an improved Control Browser that shows
  | all the properties including the custom sets... Just hadn't got 
  | there yet!
  | 
  | thanks for all info

  |   | Sorry, pasted the wrong line.
  |   | (Yes, this indeed selects the default Set. It is easy to
  |   | overlook the fact
  |   | that every object that can have custom properties set is 
  | created with a
  |   | default Set with the name empty.)
  |   |
  |   | The following will delete ALL of the customPropertySets for the
  |   | specified object
  |   |
  |   | set the customPropertySets of this stack to empty
  |   |
  |   | I never needed to delete only a single customPropertySet, but I
  |   | suspect any Set could be set to empty by using array elements to
  | reference them.
  |   |
  |   | miscdas
  |   |
  | 
  | Well, i knew about this one, but this still doesn't reach my goal :-(
  | I really do need to do this "Set delete", and i'm a bit surprised
  | that there is no simple solution....
  | anyway, what i can do is export all the Sets
  | in a dynamic structure, clean what has to be cleaned, delete the "Sets"
  | and re-import the new "customPropertySets", but what a job !
  | 
  | Other ideas ?
  | 
  | Thanks for your help,
  | Kind regards, thierry
