Name Property (AddressEntryFilter object)

Name Property (AddressEntryFilter Object)

The Name property specifies a value for use in an ANR (ambiguous name resolution) restriction on an AddressEntry object. Read/write.

Syntax

objAddressEntryFilter.Name

The Name property is the default property of an AddressEntryFilter object, meaning that objAddressEntryFilter is syntactically equivalent to objAddressEntryFilter.Name in Microsoft® Visual Basic® code.

Data Type

String

Remarks

The Name property contains an ANR string that can be compared against each AddressEntry object using a provider-defined algorithm. The property or properties used in the comparison are chosen by the provider as part of the algorithm; the PR_DISPLAY_NAME property is the most commonly used.

The Name property corresponds to the MAPI property PR_ANR.

Example

This code fragment specifies that the address entry filter should pass all AddressEntry objects that contain any resolution of the string "pet", such as "Peter", "Petra", "Peterson", and "pet lovers":

Dim colAEs As AddressEntries
Dim objAEFilt As AddressEntryFilter
Dim objAEpet As AddressEntry
' ... validate AddressEntries collection ...
Set objAEFilt = colAEs.Filter
' ... validate AddressEntry object ...
objAEFilt.Name = "pet"
For Each objAEpet in colAEs
  MsgBox "Found " & objAEpet ' .Name is default property
Next
