Sometimes I do, sometimes not. As a ferinstance, in your example do
you really need to query the "editMode" state later on? If not, then
you don't need to set the actual custom property - the other commands
take care of setting the visual and functional effects. Sometimes this
is all I need to do and then the setProp handler becomes a mechanism
for triggering events happening in a control.
