I am happy to be of use as you have helped me a lot over the years!
Actually I thought your anonymous struct idea sounded like a good
shortcut, as I suppose you could just make a one line Set method:

pro myobj::Set, my_struct
self->SetProperty, _EXTRA=my_struct
end

Would save a heck of a lot of SetPropertyByIdentifiers.

I also like to use propertysheet and IDLitComponent, via a base class
that all of my objects inherit - even my direct graphics are wrapped
in IDLitComponent objects now. It is such a powerful technique I
always wonder why RSI/ITT didn't just finish the job themselves and
make everything pop up a property sheet on middle click? They could
have developed iTools in half the time, and the result would have the
advantage that it would be comprehensible!

All the best,
Sean
