## ValueMap.Names

### Introduced

v9.0 (2011)

### Description

Returns the list of all names defined in this ValueMap as a SafeArray of Variant values.

### C# Syntax

    // get accessor
    Object rtn = ValueMap.Names;

### Examples

#### JScript Example

    /*
            This example demonstrates how to access and work with the list of attributes
            (stored in a ValueMap object) in JScript. When using JScript, you have to
            be careful to convert the safearrays returned by the Names and Values properties
            to JScript native arrays before you can work with them.

    var oAttribs = oShaderDef.Attributes;
    // Convert the list of names (keys) to a native JScript array
    var vbaAttribNames = new VBArray(oAttribs.Names);
    var aAttribNames = vbaAttribNames.toArray();
    // Print number of elements in this value map and then its values

    // INFO : Found 1 attribute(s) on mentalray.misss_physical_phen.1.0
    // INFO : Attribute[0] has key,value: shaderlocation, 0
