Name Property
Home Page (Objects) | Overview | FAQ | Reference
Applies to: Application object, Configuration object, Document object, Project object, TextDocument object
Gets the name of an object.
Syntax
object**.Name**
-or-
object
Parameters
object
An expression that evaluates to one of the objects in the Applies To list above. When you access the Name property of the Application object, you can omit object because the name of the Application object is implied when you access its properties and methods. Additionally, the Name property is the default property of all objects in the Applies To list. Accordingly, you do not have to reference Name explicitly, as shown in the syntax.
Remarks
The Name property has the String type.
The following table summarizes the results of using the Name property with the objects in the Applies To list:
| Object | Results |
| Application | Gets the name of the application. |
| Configuration | Gets the name of the current configuration, for example "MyProject - Win32 Debug." |
| Document | Gets the name of the current document, for example "MyFile.cpp." |
| Project | Gets the name of the current project, for example "MyProject." |
| TextDocument | Gets the name of the current text document, for example "MyFile.cpp." |
The Name property does not get a document's drive and directory. To get the drive and directory, use the Path or FullName property.
Example
The following example gets the name of the active document:
ActiveDocument.Name
See Also FullName property.
