   ) const

2. If successful, puts the value of property to the specified variable of string type, passed by reference as last parameter.

bool  GetString(
   ENUM_CHART_PROPERTY_STRING  prop_id,     // property identifier
   string&                     value        // link to the variable
   ) const

Parameters
