Parameter	Type	Description
*	Operator	If specified, object is an object name (string) If omitted, object is a variable
object	Form object	Object Name (if * is specified) or Variable (if * is omitted)

Description

The OBJECT GET SUBFORM command gets the name(s) of the form(s) associated with the subform object designated by the object and * parameters.

If you pass the optional * parameter, this indicates that the object parameter is an object name (a string). If you do not pass this parameter, this indicates that the object is a variable. In this case, you pass a variable reference instead of a string.

In the tablePtr parameter, the command returns a pointer to the table of the form(s) used. If the subform uses a project form, this parameter contains Is nil pointer.

In the detailSubform and (optionally) listSubform parameters, the command returns:

the form name if the subform was created in the 4D form editor.
the subform's "name" attribute if the subform was created from a .json file or a 4D object.
In both cases, if the "name" attribute is undefined, the command will return:
- for a .json file, the name of the .json file (without extension)
- for an object, "untitled"

If there is no list form, an empty string is returned in the listSubform parameter.
