Dennis,
Oracle Developer 2000 Reference Manual Volume 1 page 3-143 gives an explanation of the get_item_property function.
Basically, the function returns the value of the property (2nd argument)
for a given item (1st argument). For example,
get_item_property(customer_name,AUTO_SKIP) if auto skip is set to true,
for the customer_name item, then the function would return to TRUE,
if the auto skip property is
set to false for the item customer_name, then the function would return
FALSE.
ITEM_PROPERTY is a standard property. Let's say you have a form that has
2 canvases defined, namely; page_1, and page_2,
so get_item_property can have 3 different values return
It can return 'page_1','page_2' or <null>, since it's possible that item may not be assigned to a canvas.
