# IDLitComponent::GetPropertyByIdentifier

Syntax | Return Value | Arguments | Keywords | Version History

The IDLitComponent::GetPropertyByIdentifier function method retrieves the value of an IDLitComponent property.

Tip: The IDLitComponent::GetPropertyByIdentifier method is similar to the IDLitComponent::GetProperty method, but is useful for cases where the property identifier is defined at runtime.

Result = Obj->[IDLitComponent::]GetPropertyByIdentifier(PropertyIdentifier, Value)

Returns 1 if the property value is defined, or 0 if the property value is undefined.

## Arguments

### PropertyIdentifier

A string containing the property identifier of the property. PropertyIdentifier does not need to be a registered property, but must be a valid keyword name for the GetProperty method of the component.

### Value

A named variable that will contain the value of the property. If the property value is currently undefined, then the contents of the variable specified by Value will not be modified.
