Syntax

WITH <Expression representing a base element>
.<Sub-element>
..<Property>
:<Member or attribute>
END

<WITH>:

Marks the beginning of statement block.

<Expression representing a base element>:

Element used. The following elements can be used:
the controls,
the HFSQL files,
the data sources,
the advanced types (Record, xmlNode, ...),
the structures,
the classes,
the .NET objects and the Windows Store app objects.
Caution: The expression representing the base element is evaluated once only.

<END>:

Marks the end of statement block.

Remarks

Nesting

The WITH blocks can be nested. However, the element on which the accesses to the sub-elements, properties or members are performed is always the element of the most inside block.

oo is gglCalendar
sTitle, sAuthorName are strings
WITH oo
sTitle = ..Title
WITH ..Author
sAuthorName = ..Name
END
END

Special cases

In a class method, you cannot access the members of the class with the <:Member> syntax inside a WITH block. The ':' operator is reserved to the element of the WITH block.
The debugger is used to view the sub-elements of the current WITH block.
