If I have added a contstraint to an item with the data property set, and I want to later retrieve the data value for the selected constraint, how do I do it?

is it item.constraints.something?

or does some property of the item changes when the constraint is chosen?

or do I have to go through and compare the item's constraints with it's current value, and get the index that way?

Best way is to use PropertyItemEnum type of items.

See our Sample

    Set ItemEnum = Category.AddChildItem(PropertyItemEnum, "Enum", 2)

    'Adds some constraints along with a Data value
    ItemEnum.Constraints.Add "Windows 98", 1
    ItemEnum.Constraints.Add "Windows 2000", 2
    ItemEnum.Constraints.Add "Windows XP", 3

In this case ItemEnum.Value equal Selected constraint.

When using this method, it seems the value returned by ItemEnum.Value would be "Windows 2000". How do you retrieve the value "2" when a user would select "Windows 2000" from the dropdown?

Nope. My mistake. When using PropertyItemEnum value returns the Data value. I should have paid more attention.
