    Element Property
    In This Topic
    Description
    The element index of a data element
    Property type
    Read-only property
    Syntax
    Visual Basic
    Public Property Element As Long
    Remarks
    Although these properties would be redundant if accessing the elements by group and element number, the ability to iterate thought the elements using the "for each" and ItemByIndex constructs requires these properties to be exposed, in order to identify the nature of each attribute.
     These properties are presented as long rather than short integers, to avoid ambiguities in the range 8000-FFFF.
