StringCollection.item method

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The item method retrieves the string at the specified index.

Syntax

strRetVal = StringCollection.item(
  index
)

Parameters

index [in]

Number (long) containing the index.

Return value

This method returns a String.

Remarks

The StringCollection object is used to retrieve the set of values available for an attribute. For example, the MediaCollection.getAttributeStringCollection method can be used to retrieve a StringCollection object representing all the values for the Genre attribute within the Audio media type. The item property can then be used to iterate through all of the possible values for the Genre attribute.

To use this method, read access to the library is required. For more information, see Library Access.
