Custom property sets

[Ron]

Greetings

I have two custompropertysets which I set on startup:
english
japanese

Each set has the same 3 keys but the keys have different content based on
the language:

btnnames
errors
fldcontents

The contents of btnnames is like this:

btn1,this is a btn
btn2, this is another btn
etc

I split it to make an array and reference the items using:

set the label of btn1 to btnnames[btn1]

This sets the name to the appropriate language throughout the substacks.
However, I have run into a problem referencing other customproperties. If I
make a customproperty in a substack, say 'prefs', and try to call it, it is
not available. Presumably because the custompropertyset of the main stack
does not contain this customproperty?

Is there a way to call customproperties in the substack without creating
another set, then setting the custompropertyset to the new set, referencing
the property, then resetting the set to 'english'?

Thanks
Ron
