GetText method (Microsoft Forms)
Retrieves a text string from the DataObject using the specified format.
Syntax
String = object. GetText( [ format ] )
The GetText method syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| object | Required. A valid object name. |
| format | Optional. A string or integer specifying the format of the data to retrieve from the DataObject. |
Settings
The settings for format are:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Text format. |
| A string or any integer other than 1 | A user-defined DataObject format passed to the DataObject from SetText. |
Remarks
The DataObject supports multiple formats, but only supports one data item of each format. For example, the DataObject might include one text item and one item in a custom format; but cannot include two text items. If no format is specified, the GetText method requests information in the Text format from the DataObject.
