Elements

Remarks:

This collection contains the defined dynamic elements of a picture.
The single dynamic elements contain the most important properties, e.g. type, position, colour, ...

The single dynamic elements can be found in the collection by their unique name or by the index.

Hint for older Versions:
Giving a name to a dynamic element is optional.
If a dynamic element has no name, it is not found under certain circumstances.
So the result of the method Item should always be checked on Nothing.
