public CaptureInput Item( 
   string name
) {get;}

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads ReadOnly Property Item( _
   ByVal name As String _
) As CaptureInput

'Usage
 
Dim instance As CaptureInputs
Dim name As String
Dim value As CaptureInput
 
value = instance.Item(name)

public CaptureInput Item( 
   string name
) {get;}

 get_Item(String)();

public:
property CaptureInput^ Item {
   CaptureInput^ get(String^ name);
}

Parameters

name: The string name of the item to get.

Property Value

The CaptureInput item with the specified name

'null' if no item matching the name exists

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The exception that is thrown when the value of an argument is outside the allowable range of values as defined by the invoked method.
System.NullReferenceException	The exception that is thrown when there is an attempt to dereference a null object reference.

This property provides the ability to access a specific item in the collection by using the following syntax: myCollection[index]. The C# language uses the this keyword to define the indexers instead of implementing the Item property. Visual Basic implements Item as a default property, which provides the same indexing functionality.

Capture Input names are unique. An application can use this method to find a specific input. A Capture Input name can be retrieved with the CaptureInput.Name property. If the method fails, an error will be raised.

For more information, refer to the Error Codes.
