Item property (Symbols)

  • Article

Returns a Symbol object based on its Name property. Read-only.

Applies to

Collections:  Symbols

Syntax

object.Item(Index)

Parameters

Part Description
object Required. An expression that returns a Symbols collection.
Index Required Variant. The name of the symbol, or an integer representing the index of the symbol to return.

Remarks

The Item property is the default property for the Symbols collection.

The index of a symbol within a Symbols collection is not the same as the ID property of the symbol. To return a symbol based on the ID, use the ItemByID property of the Symbols collection.

    Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application
    Dim objMap As MapPoint.Map
    Dim objLoc As MapPoint.Location
    Dim objPushpin As MapPoint.Pushpin


    'Set up application and Pushpin object
    objApp.Visible = True
    objApp.UserControl = True
    Set objMap = objApp.ActiveMap
    Set objLoc = objMap.GetLocation(0, 0)
    Set objPushpin = objMap.AddPushpin(objLoc)


    'Set the Pushpin symbol to a red car
    Let objPushpin.Symbol = objMap.Symbols.Item(83)


    'Zooms to object to see the results
    objPushpin.Location.GoTo
    objMap.Altitude = 1000
