Syntax

Parts

ISpeechVoiceStatus

The owning object.

String

Set: (This property is read-only)
Get: A String variable returning the string value of the last bookmark.

Example

The following Visual Basic form code demonstrates the use of the LastBookmark and LastBookmarkId properties. To run this code, create a form without any controls and paste the code into the form's Declarations section.

The code creates a voice that speaks a text stream containing two bookmarks, and then calls the Status method to get an ISpeechVoiceStatus object. The code then shows how these two properties return the bookmark text and display the format of the bookmark.
