Parameters

item	RepositoryItem	A RepositoryItem object representing the source object.

Remarks

The Assign method is used to copy public properties and event handlers from the source repository item specified by the item parameter to the current RepositoryItemMemoEdit object. This makes it possible to have several memo editors with the same behavior and look & feel.

The item parameter can represent any RepositoryItem-derived object. The Assign method copies properties common to the source and to the current repository item. Thus, if the source is a RepositoryItemMemoEdit object, all its public properties and event handlers will be copied. For other types of source repository item object, only properties and event handlers of the immediate common ancestor will be assigned.

This method is used internally and you’ll rarely need to call it from your code.
