The EccoItem Object

This object type represents a single item in an Ecco file. This object includes built-in properties for each of the built-in (canonical) folders recognized by Ecco. These folders have a hard-coded ID number which remains the same even if the folder is renamed. For example, the BusPhone property refers to the Ecco built-in Work # folder, even if that folder has been renamed by the user.

You can also use the FolderValue property to read or set the value of any folder, specified either by its name or ID. This is how values in non-canonical folders (including folders added in various Ecco templates) can be accessed.
Ecco associates with each item a unique integer which represents an item ID. Changing this ID causes the EccoItem object to refer to a different Ecco item.

The EccoItem object contains the following properties and methods for working with individual Ecco items:
