The Lookup property retrieves a MetaPropertyType object by name from the specified MetaPropertySet collection.
Syntax
objMetaPropertySets.MetaPropertySets.Lookup(bstr As String) As MetaPropertyType
Parameters
bstr
[in] Specifies the name of the MetaPropertySet collection within which to find the MetaPropertyType object, and the name of the MetaPropertyType object, separated by a period. See Remarks.
Error Codes
If the property fails, an error is raised and Err.Number is set to a value other than zero.
Return Values
This property returns a MetaPropertyType object.
Remarks
The first period in bstr is interpreted as a separator between the name of the MetaPropertySet and the name of the MetaPropertyType.
If bstr is "Description.Title", calling this method is equivalent to passing "Description" to MetaPropertySets.ItemWithName to retrieve a MetaPropertySet object, then calling MetaPropertySet.MetaPropertyTypes to retrieve the associated MetaPropertyTypes collection, and finally passing "Title" to MetaPropertyTypes.ItemWithName to retrieve an object from that collection.
