ItemProperty.Value property (Outlook)

  • Article

Returns or sets a Variant indicating the value for the specified custom or explicit built-in property. Read/write.

Syntax

expression.Value

expression A variable that represents an ItemProperty object.

Remarks

Even though ItemProperty.Value allows you to get or set an explicit built-in property or a custom property, you can reference explicit built-in properties directly from the parent object, for example, ContactItem.Body. For more information on accessing properties in Outlook, see Properties Overview.

Example

The following Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example creates a contact item and sets its Body property

Sub ValueItemProperty() 
 
 Dim cti As Outlook.ContactItem 
 
 Dim itms As Outlook.ItemProperties 
 
 Dim itm As Outlook.ItemProperty 
 
 
 
 Set cti = Application.CreateItem(olContactItem) 
 
 cti.FullName = "Dan Wilson" 
 
 Set itms = cti.ItemProperties 
 
 Set itm = itms.Item("Body") 
 
 itm.Value = "My friend from school" 
 
 cti.Save 
 
 cti.Display 
 
End Sub
