Retrieving a field value from a custom control when there are multiple instances of the custom control

Without code, I'm not sure if .getValue () will work the way it did, it will have to pull out a field where the user control might have a repetition inside, etc.

Assuming it will work if each instance of customControl has a unique unique ID, it should work fine as each instance should have its own vriables inside it.

Other ideas, however, might be to pass in a string and use that string as a scoped variable name inside a custom control that can be pulled from anywhere. I did this before when I created a property in a custom control for a row and inside a custom control

viewScope[compositeData.customProperty] = value.

      

        
        
        
      

    

then outside of the context of the custom control, I know the string I passed into so that I can pull this value. Passing this means multiple instances won't write to each other.

Or you could write a field in your custom control for the document, either to retrieve it or as the ultimate solution to the persistence problem.
