An Apple event object that defines some characteristic of another Apple event object, such as its font or point size, that can be uniquely identified by a constant. The definition of each object class in the Apple Event Registry: Standard Suites lists the constants and class IDs for properties of Apple event objects belonging to that object class. For example, the constants pName and pBounds identify the name and boundary properties of Apple event objects that belong to the object class cWindow. The pName property of a specific window is defined by an Apple event object of object class cProperty, such as the word "MyWindow," which defines the name of the window. An Apple event object can contain only one of each of its properties, whereas it can contain many elements of the same element class. See also Apple event object, container, element classes.

The question of ownership of any particular record must be determined having regard to all relevant facts and circumstances relating to that record at the time the question of ownership arises. See also Commonwealth record.

In Visual Basic, a named attribute of an object. For example, every Toolbox object has a Name property. Properties can be set by changing them in the Properties window at design time or by program statements at run time. For example, I might change the Name property of a form Form1 with the statement: Form1.Name = "MyFormName" VB 6 uses Property Get, Property Set and Property Let statements to manipulate properties of objects. This syntax has been completely overhauled in VB.NET. The Get and Set syntax isn't necessary and Let isn't supported at all.

Part of an object. A property has a name and a value. The name is a string. The value can a primitive, method, or object reference. It is often stated that a property holds an object - this is shorthand for saying the property holds a reference to the object, as properties cannot directly hold the objects themselves. In the case of the property holding an object, there is a distinction between the property's value and the object due to the nature of object references - the property's value can be changed when it's set to another value, but this does not modify the previously referred object in any way.

In philosophy, mathematics, and logic, a property is an attribute of an object; thus a red object is said to have the property of redness.

In some object-oriented programming languages, a property is a special sort of class member, intermediate between a field (or data member) and a method. You read and write a property just as you read and write a field, but this is (usually) translated to get and set method calls. The field-like syntax is easier to read and write than lots of method calls, yet the interposition of method calls allows for data validation, active updating (as of GUI visuals), and/or read-only 'fields'.
