V8i VBA - I Want My Very Own PropertyHandler!

This has bugged me for a while.  I'd really really like to create my own category of properties to associate with elements.  Way easier for users to query than tags, and something that Navigator can display in clash results.  I've been able to successfully read these properties that other applications (i.e. InRoads) are able to create on their own (lucky ducks), but no success adding my own.  I'd like to mimic the custom approach shown below to adding metadata.  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!!!

  • Try adding a default value to your property in the class editor.
    To do this open the schema in the class editor and then in the properties tab select the custom attributes button.
    Add 'Calculated ECProperty Specification' custom property to the property and then edit the following values.
    EC Expression needs to have a value which can be a space.
    Is Calculated as default value only - set this to True.

    All of the properties will have values now so you can edit with the propertyhandler.
