IAppHostProperty::Value Property

Gets or sets the value of the current property.

Syntax

HRESULT get_Value(  
   [out,  
   retval] VARIANT* pVariant  
);  
HRESULT put_Value(  
   VARIANT value  
);  

Parameters

pVariant
A pointer to a VARIANT that contains the current property value.

value
A VARIANT that contains the new property value.

Return Value

An HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Remarks

When you set this property, the new value that is passed to the property must validate against the property schema that is assigned to the current property.

Example

The following code example disables the default document by setting the enabled attribute of the defaultDocument element to false.
