User-Defined Property


Type:	Four-byte integer of C type T_INT4
Default Value:	`0`
Valid Values:	Any integer 0 or greater

The user-defined property identifies the default user-defined property for messages of this type. The message user-defined property can be used for any purpose, such as attaching a version number to messages. When a message is created, its user-defined property is initialized to the message type user-defined property. Message user-defined properties are discussed in User-Defined Property.

The user-defined property of an outgoing message can always be set on a per-message basis, but using the message type user-defined property makes it easier to change the default user-defined property for all outgoing messages of a specific type. The standard SmartSockets message types by default all have a user-defined property of zero (0), but these may be changed if desired. User-defined message types can also use whatever user-defined property is appropriate.
