  • Article

Sets or retrieves a value indicating whether arbitrary variables can be created within the object.

Syntax

HRESULT value = object.put_expando( v);HRESULT value = object.get_expando(* p);

Property values

Type: VARIANT_BOOL

VARIANT_TRUE (true)

Default. Creation of arbitrary variables is allowed.

VARIANT_FALSE (false)

Remarks

You can extend the properties on an object by creating arbitrary properties with values.

Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) does not support IHTMLDOMAttribute2::expando properties on its native language objects, nor does it cause Windows Internet Explorer to create IHTMLDOMAttribute2::expando properties on its objects. Internet Explorer supports creation of IHTMLDOMAttribute2::expando properties on its objects, in any language, through IHTMLElement::setAttribute.

In Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, this property now applies to the attribute object.
