Item property
Sets or returns an item for a specified key in a Dictionary object. For collections, returns an item based on the specified key. Read/write.
Syntax
object.Item (key) [ = newitem ]
The Item property has the following parts:
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| object | Required. Always the name of a Collection or Dictionary object. |
| key | Required. Key associated with the item being retrieved or added. |
| newitem | Optional. Used for Dictionary object only; no application for collections. If provided, newitem is the new value associated with the specified key. |
