scope resolution operator (::)

In Actuate Basic technology, an operator that refers to symbols in a specific scope. A leading :: refers to the global scope. For example, CustomerFrame::CustId refers to the control CustId within the scope of the frame, CustomerFrame. This control is different from TotalsFrame::CustId, which is scoped to TotalsFrame. Actuate Basic code accesses static variables in a class by using this operator, not dot notation.
