## Parameter.GetValue2

### Introduced

v6.0

### Description

Returns the parameter value. The type of the value depends on the Parameter.ValueType, for example it may be a string, double, integer, GridData or boolean.
In the case of an animated Parameter it returns the value at the frame that the Parameter object was created.
If the parameter is unable to retrieve the value, it returns an Empty variant. If the parameter value is a string and it has not been set then it returns an empty string.
Tip: To set the value of a parameter inside a CustomOperator use OutputPort.Value instead.
Note: This is the Python-compliant version of the Parameter.Value property. Since Python does not support input parameters on properties, Parameter.Value will fail in Python.

### C# Syntax

    Object Parameter.GetValue2( Object inFrame );

### Scripting Syntax

    Parameter.GetValue2( [Frame] );

### Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
Frame | Variant | Frame at which to set or get the value.
