Question

I am working on a custom control and have created a property in property definition section.
I can see this property under compositeData global object whenever i go to write SSJS anywhere in this custom control. But if I go to any other custom control or in the xpage that contains this custom control I am not able to see this property under compositeData global object section. Actually I want to change the value of this property on click of a button which exists in some other custom control. Please suggest me some way. Thanks.

The compositeDate properties are only available within the custom control itself. You can choose to transfer the properties to the custom control using e.g. a viewScope variable or a dataContext. Thereby you can change/calculate/refresh the property which is passed to the custom control.
