In my client module code, how can I dynamically add custom properties to my component? I know I can use `addProp(...)` in my BeanInfo class, but I do not know how I can add a generated property to the component in the designer. I would also like to keep updating its value in the program.

I would also like to expose these properties so they can be bound to.

Assuming Vision, since you said BeanInfo:  
You do this through the `DynamicPropertyProvider` interface:

> **[DynamicPropertyProvider](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.41/com/inductiveautomation/factorypmi/application/binding/DynamicPropertyProvider.html)**
>
> declaration: package: com.inductiveautomation.factorypmi.application.binding, interface: DynamicPropertyProvider

and the extension interface for MutableDynamicPropertyProvider.

If you make your base component extend one of the AbstractVision\* base classes we do this for you:

> **[AbstractVisionComponent](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.41/com/inductiveautomation/vision/api/client/components/model/AbstractVisionComponent.html)**
>
> declaration: package: com.inductiveautomation.vision.api.client.components.model, class: AbstractVisionComponent

> **[AbstractVisionPanel](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.41/com/inductiveautomation/vision/api/client/components/model/AbstractVisionPanel.html)**
>
> declaration: package: com.inductiveautomation.vision.api.client.components.model, class: AbstractVisionPanel

> **[AbstractVisionScrollPane](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.41/com/inductiveautomation/vision/api/client/components/model/AbstractVisionScrollPane.html)**
