Setting Props of Multiple objects with behavior?

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami]

Yep… I think I did too… ask before…

we migrated from Google Mail to Micrsoft365/Outlook and I “lost” my list archives (still in PostBox folders… I have yet to migrate) which I usually search in.

"The nice
thing about using a behavior is that once you establish the theme in the
behavior script, any control that gets the behavior assigned to it will be
able to display the theme automatically.”

“Automatically” ? 

But would you not have to trigger the setProp handler some how?
