Java Question DesignerCustomView and Tag property

Is there anyway to use the Tag property in the Designer with a (java) CustomView?
From what i've read i can use the Label Text property as a workaround but just wondered if that was the only solution.

Is the Tag property from the Designer passed to the java code?

Yes. You can get the Tag with base.getTag.

Great and thanks.

Bumping an oldish thread here...

Does the Panel passed to the java DesignerCreateView method have all properties set from the Designer?
Erel stated the Panel Tag is set from the Designer, does the same apply to other properties too?
I'm asking about the Enabled and Visible properties mainly.

I've been wondering why a custom Spinner type CustomView never becomes visible when it's Visible property is set to True in code.
The CustomView's Visible property is set to False in the Designer.
So i'm guessing that my custom Spinner is contained in a parent Panel - and that the Panel is not Visible so neither is my Spinner, regardless of whether the Spinner is visible or not?

The text properties go to the label. The other properties go to panel.
