I would like to add a property to each markers, but i don't know how
to do.
I used dbCreateProp() but it doesn't work.

please ?

Thanks a lot.

In this code snippet, severity is either "error" or "warning" (it indicates the
purpose to use for the shape). bBox is the bounding box of the rectangle you
want to create (i.e. a list of lower left and upper right coordinates of the
rectangle):

marker=dbCreateRect(obj~>cellView list("marker" severity) bBox)
marker~>MYAPPWhy=reason

The variable reason contains the string that will appear when you do a
Verify->Explain on the marker. Essentially, having a property XXXXWhy (the
property name ending with "Why") will specify the explain reason. Also, when you
do delete markers, it will tell you that there are markers for application XXXX
(or MYAPP in the above case).

In IC61, this is easier, because there's the dbCreateMarker function (markers
are distinct objects in OpenAccess, whereas in CDB they are just shapes on the
marker/error or marker/warning LPP).
