Item Property (Patterns Collection)
Item Property (Patterns Collection)
Important The Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) 1.2.1 Rendering objects are not installed by or supported for use with Exchange Server 2003 or later.
The Item property returns the specified Pattern object from the Patterns collection. Read-only.
Syntax
objPatternsColl.Item(index)
index
A short integer ranging from 1 to objPatternsColl.Count.
The Item property is the default property of a Patterns collection, meaning that objPatternsColl**(index)** is syntactically equivalent to objPatternsColl.Item(index) in Microsoft® Visual Basic® code.
Data Type
Pattern object
Remarks
The Item property works like an accessor property.
If the specified Pattern object is not found in the collection, the Item property returns Nothing.
Although the Item property itself is read-only, the Pattern object it returns can be accessed in the normal manner, and its properties retain their respective read/write or read-only accessibility.
Example
This code fragment shows the Count and Item properties working together:
' Put all pattern values in a collection into a string array
Dim strItemValue(100) As String
Dim i As Integer ' loop counter
' error handling omitted from this fragment ...
For i = 1 To objPatternsColl.Count Step 1
strItemValue(i) = objPatternsColl.Item(i).Value
' or = objPatternsColl(i).Value since Item is default property
If 100 = i Then ' max size of string array
Exit Function
End If
Next i
