Reserved property name conflict
Hello,
I’m currently working on a simple Word Automation project that generates a docx file. Everything is working fine, however I’m encountenring an annoying problem regarding access to the $name property of the Word.Application object that is being returned (in my case it’s the name of a document bookmark).As you may have already guessed, the $name is a reserved Omnis keyword, and when i use lObject.$name, it returrns “lObject”, instead of the actual value of the $name variable.
I’ve tried using lObject.$name(), lObject().$name and lObject.//$name//, but none is working unfortunately. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I’m using Omnis 8.1.7 (can’t update atm)
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dario
Try using lObject.$::name
This tells Omnis not to call the internal property

@Silvan That did the trick! Thanks a lot 🙂
@Diego Mendoza Muñoz I didn’t know about that, that’s really interesting! Thanks to you too for this useful tip

It may not be answering your question, but this contribution may help you.
Omnis has an interesting way of working with reserved names try this.
Create a function on the window or some object and add the $customProp method and then add $customProp.$assign
Then you can access the calculate function by directly calling the function. I will send you photos so you can understand better.
The notation in fat client is super powerful but there are not enough examples to fully understand it, each one has to discover.
