Properties Property

This property returns a collection of properties. Read-Only.

Syntax

Property Properties As Properties

Remarks

Each InfoObject contains a collection of general InfoObject properties that can be accessed in two ways:

• Use a specific InfoObject or plugin interface property. For example, you can query for a report's name using the query language property SI_NAME, and then use the InfoObject's Title property to retrieve it.

  ReportName = QueryResult.Item(Index).Title

• Use the Properties property to return the InfoObject's collection of properties, and then set or get a property by providing its name as the index. See InfoObject properties for the names of available InfoObject properties. This method should be used only if the property that was queried for does not have a corresponding object interface property. For example, the SI_PARENT_FOLDER property can be accessed only through the Properties collection.

  ParentFolder = QueryResult.Item(Index).Properties("SI_PARENT_FOLDER").Value

Properties in the Properties collection can be either simple properties or property bags. There are two ways that the user can determine if a property is a property bag:

• Identify property bags using the Container property.
• Get the property flags. There is a flag that identifies a property as a property bag.

Note:    You can use the Properties collection's Add Method to add custom properties and property bags.

This is the InfoObject object's default property. For tips on how to use default properties to reduce the amount of code you need to write, see Using default properties.
