Retrieves or sets the default item's handle.
| Type | Description | |||
| HITEM | A long expression that indicates the handle of the item that's used by all properties of the Items object, that have a parameter Item. |
The property is used in VFP implementation. The VFP fires "Invalid Subscript Range" error, while it tries to process a number grater than 65000. Since, the HITEM is a long value that most of the time exceeds 65000, the VFP users have to use this property, instead passing directly the handles to properties.
The following VB sample shows to change the cell's image:
.Items.DefaultItem = .Items.AddItem("Item 1")
.Items.CellImage(0,1) = 2
In VFP the following sample fires: "Invalid Subscript Range":
i = .Items.AddItem("Item 1")
.Items.CellImage(i,1) = 2
This happens because the i variable is greater than 65000. Therefore, if you pass zero to a property that has a parameter named Item, the group uses the DefaultItem value instead.
