[Gambas-user] What is the use of Tag property

[Michael]

If you want a practical example. I have a data form with Edit, Add and 
Save buttons. When I click Edit or Add I set the tag property of the 
form; it can be anything "add" "edit or "1" and "2". When the Save 
button is clicked I then know which action to take. It's use is purely 
at the developer's discretion. In a sense it works as a global variable 
but is better because nobody likes globals.

Regards
Michael
