Return a deep copy of a screenfield object (ScreenField class)
The DeepCopy method returns a ScreenField object that is a deep copy of the method object. Since a ScreenField cannot exist without its underlying Screen, a ScreenField is deep copyable only, and no Copy method exists for a ScreenField.
Syntax
%outSfield = sfield:DeepCopy
Syntax terms
| %outSfield | A declared ScreenField object. |
|---|---|
| sfield | A reference to an instance of a ScreenField object, which may be Null. |
Usage notes
- The method object (sfield) may be null. The output of a copy of a null object is a null object.
