Item

Sets the value associated with a specific key in a SortedList object.

 Public Property Set Item(
	  ByRef Key As Variant,
	  ByRef Value As Variant )

Parameters

Key

[ByRef] Variant. The key associated with the value to set.

Value

[ByRef] Variant. The value associated with the Key parameter in the SortedList object.

Remarks

You can use the Item property to access a specific element in a collection by specifying the following syntax: myCollection(key).

You can also use this property to add new elements by setting the value of a key that does not exist in the SortedList object (for example, myCollection("myNonexistentKey") = myValue). However, if the specified key already exists in the SortedList, setting the Item property overwrites the old value. In contrast, the Add method does not modify existing elements.

The elements of a SortedList are sorted by the keys either according to a specific IComparer implementation specified when the SortedList is created, or by the default Comparer.

Read/Write.

Exceptions
