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

[Ron]

I use the Tag properties in async network code.
So I know when a call ends to which event it belongs.

See here for an example:
http://www.domotiga.nl/browser/trunk/DomotiGa/Ping.module#L67
http://www.domotiga.nl/browser/trunk/DomotiGa/Ping.module#L98

Not all objects have a Tag property, for example Timers don't have it.

Regards,
Ron_2nd.
