Properties Property

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

Syntax

Property Properties As Properties

Remarks

ProcessingInfo properties can be accessed in two ways:

• Use a specific Report Object property. For example, you can query for a report's group formula using the query language property SI_GROUP_FORMULA, and then use the Report object's GroupFormula property to retrieve it.

  GroupFormula = QueryResult.Item(Index).PluginInterface.GroupFormula

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

  Comment = QueryResult.Item(Index).ProcessingInfo.Properties("SI_COMMENT").Value

Properties in the collection can be either simple properties or property bags (i.e. containers). 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.
