ItemProperties

A collection of all properties associated with the item.

Using the ItemProperties collection

Use the ItemProperties property to return the ItemProperties collection. Use ItemProperties.Item(index), where index is the name of the object or the numeric position of the item within the collection, to return a single ItemProperty object. The following example creates a new MailItem object and stores its ItemProperties collection in a variable called objItems.

  
Sub ItemProperty()
'Creates a new MailItem and access its properties

    Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim objMail As MailItem
    Dim objItems As ItemProperties
    Dim objItem As ItemProperty

    Set olApp = Outlook.Application
    'Create the mail item
    Set objMail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    'Create a reference to the item properties collection
    Set objItems = objMail.ItemProperties
    'Create a reference to the item property page
    Set objItem = objItems.item(0)

End Sub

Use the Add method to add a new item property to the ItemProperties collection. Use the Remove method to remove an item property from the ItemProperties collection.

Note You can only add or remove custom properties. Custom properties are denoted by the IsUserProperty.

Note The ItemProperties collection is zero-based, meaning that the first item in the collection is referenced by 0, instead of 1.
