Too lazy to look up the post.
But where u wanted to set/get the property of ur widget.
And see if it changed.
I suggested a getter/setter
but maybe u could use a "watch" which is like a perl tie.

Thanks Nop ... actually I don't need to get/set, I thought that was someone else...

the PHP get/set is rather crappy in that ALL properties are set through a single magic method... and if you define the method, then all getting or setting goes through it. It's a PIA and doesn't "feel" right. It can be used (I've used it thus) to limit access or even ensure that you're doing things correctly: you can spontaneously "set" an object property that doesn't even exist, so the ability for you to create code where you think something's happening but it really isn't is high - so the ability to lock down / add code to the getting/setting of properties is good, but it's not entirely well thought out IMO. Using it you could also do type enforcement. I just don't care for it very much.
