Parameters

type%

Constant. The type of element:
• RTELEM_TYPE_DOCLINK (5)
• RTELEM_TYPE_FILEATTACHMENT (8)
• RTELEM_TYPE_OLE (9)

element

NotesEmbeddedObject, NotesRichTextDocLink, NotesRichTextSection, or NotesRichTextTable. The requested element.

A run-time error occurs if you try to get an element of type RTELEM_TYPE_TABLECELL, RTELEM_TYPE_TEXTPARAGRAPH, or RTELEM_TYPE_TEXTRUN. Access these elements through NotesRichTextRange.

This method fails if a current position does not exist, for example, if you use this method without first calling FindFirstElement, FindNextElement, or FindNthElement.

This method moves the current position to the position of the retrieved element.
