Parameters
- strAttributeName
- String that specifies the name of the attribute to retrieve.
- lFlags
- Long integer that receives the flags.
- AttributeValue
- Address of a variable that receives a string, number, or Boolean value as defined by the attribute. If the attribute is not present, this method returns NULL.
Return Value
