# IDL_Object::GetProperty

The IDL_Object::GetProperty method returns property values for the object.

Tip: If you write an object class that inherits from IDL_Object and overloads this method, you can call the superclass method directly to return the default property values.

## Syntax

In most cases, this method is called by IDL when the user uses the "dot" notation to access the variable attributes. When called explicitly, the syntax is:

Obj->[IDL_Object::]GetProperty, PROPERTY=variable

## Arguments

None.

## Properties

See IDL_Object Properties for the list of default properties.
