GetPropertyAttribObj

You can use this method to access information about attributes for individual ADSI properties. GetPropertyAttribObj works in the following way:

• Returns an object that contains the property's attributes if the property is set at that node or is set at some parent node and is inheritable.
• Returns an Error if the property is not set at that node, or its parent node and is inheritable.
• Returns an Error if the property is not set at that node, but set at parent and not inheritable.

Syntax

Initializing:

PropAttObj = object.GetPropertyAttribObj(property)

Using:

RetBool = PropAttObj.Attribute

Parts

PropAttObj

Reference to an object that contains the property attributes for the property.

object

Contains an IIS Admin Object, usually as a result of a previous GetObject operation.

property

String that contains the name of the property whose attributes are being requested.

RetBool

Boolean that indicates whether the attribute specified by Attribute is enabled or disabled.

Attribute

Indicates which attribute is being queried. The possible attributes are:

Attribute	Description
Inherit	Specifies whether the property is inheritable.
PartialPath	Indicates whether a partial path is present.
Secure	Indicates whether the property is secure.
Reference	Specifies if the property was received by a reference.
Volatile	Indicates whether the property is volatile.
IsInherited	Specifies whether the property is inherited.
InsertPath	Indicates whether a string in a property contains a special insert value.
AllAttributes	Contains all the attributes listed in this table in one Long.

Remarks

Unlike most other ADSI objects, the property attributes object does not support Get and Set methods. You must use the object.property syntax to access the individual attributes of the property attribute object.

Note   If a call is made to AppCreate, object path information will be persisted, but you must call SetInfo before the given object is created. If SetInfo is not called, subsequent calls to the object created will fail.
