Syntax

HRESULT Item(  
   [in] VARIANT cIndex,  
   [out,  
   retval] IAppHostElement** ppElement  
);  

Parameters

cIndex
A VARIANT that represents the index of the item to retrieve from the collection.

ppElement
A pointer to a pointer for an IAppHostElement interface.

Return Value

An HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Value	Description
S_OK	Indicates that the operation was successful.

Example
