Read/write property intended
to allow keeping of a specific application data with the collection.
Any VARIANT can be set including objects. For example this can be
useful to distinguish between purpose or type of the collections in
the application.Syntax:
object.Info = variable
variable = object.Info
IDL definition:
[propget, id(8), helpstring("property Info")]
HRESULT Info([out, retval] VARIANT *pVal);
[propput, id(8), helpstring("property Info")]
HRESULT Info([in] VARIANT newVal);
Parameters:
object - Previously created VarDictionary object
variable - any application defined value
Examples:
If coll.Info.Type = "cars" Then
' Do something
End If
Suppose coll is a VarDictionary collection passed to this
VBScript with an object assigned to the Info property. The
assigned object may have Type property that specifies the
"type" of the collection contents. Thus the script is able
to determine what are the items in the collection.
Remarks
Info property can be used in many different ways and usage
depends entirely on the developer's choice. For example some of the
collection content management routines can be attached to the
collection itself by assigning an object that contains them. It can
be extremely useful when creating scripting host - the hosting
application is able to pass to the script collections with
additional data attached to them.
