Returns the raw property value, converting to the specified type.

 

Syntax

 

Step.PropertyEx(ByVal name As String, ByVal varType As VarType) As Variant

 

Returns the property value.  For non-array properties, it can be a Boolean value (properties for checkbox fields), a Long value (properties for drop-down list combo or radio button fields), or a String value (properties for string fields or properties holding a field override value).  For array properties, the returned value is a variant array with a lower bound of 0.

 

To determine the name of each property for a built-in custom action, create a step for that action in the GUI, save the project, open the .bld file in a text editor, and examine the elements under that step element in the file.
