Key Property

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change]

Sets a key in a Dictionary object.

object.Key(key) = newkey

The Key property has the following parts:

Part Description
object Required. Always the name of a Dictionary object.
key Required. Key value being changed.
newkey Required. New value that replaces the specified key.

Remarks

If key is not found when changing a key, a new key is created and its associated item is left empty.

The following example illustrates the use of the Key property:

var d;
d = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.Dictionary");

function AddStuff()
{
   var a;
   d.Add("a", "Athens");
   d.Add("b", "Belgrade");
   d.Add("c", "Cairo");
}

function ChangeKey(oldkey, newkey)
{
   var s;
   d.Key("c") = "Ca";
   s = "Key " + oldkey + " changed to " + newkey;
   return(s);
}
