Items function (automation interface)
Syntax:
Items ("<association>")
Items ("<association>","<index>")
Where:
<association> is a string that specifies the association type to use to find objects. Identifying associations...
<index> is a string that specifies the name (typically) of objects to find through the specified association. You can use wildcards, where '?' looks for a single character and '*' looks for multiple characters. Tell me more...
The Items Function returns a collection of objects in the requested association.
You may request a collection object by specifying the association only. Alternatively you may narrow the selection by using the index on the default property, usually the object's Name . If you pass an object you can test for other objects related in the requested association.
The collection object contains zero, one or more objects in the requested association.
