VB Script : Getting WORKFLOW state transition "name"

Question

Good morning, 
 I come to you because I can't in a VB code of automatic property naming to read the value of the workflow step. 
 I've tried various methods, but at best I'm reaping a -1 value. 
 This code made sense to me : 
 Dim IDWF : IDWF = GetPropertyID("Etape de Workflow") 'ID &#233;tape de workflow
Dim WF : WF = PropertyValues.SearchForProperty(IDWF).TypedValue.value 'l'&#233;tape de WF 
 
 Thank you in advance for your precious help

Hi Emmanuel, 
 First we need to get the terms lined up. You have three elements: 
 
 The workflow itself 
 The workflow states - the steps inside the workflow 
 The workflow transitions that lead from one state to another 
 
 In the headline you ask for the transition name, but from the context it appears to me that you are looking for the state name. Is that correct? 
 If so, the workflow state is managed in a built in property with ID 39. That means that you can simply use the DisplayValue of property 39 if you need the name of the current workflow state on the current object. 
 To your code: There is no method "GetPropertyID" but there is one called "GetPropertyIDByAlias". However, you cannot use it built in properties because they have no Alias. So, your code could be as simple as Dim szWFstate : szWFstate = PropertyValues.SearchForProperty(39).TypedValue.DisplayValue
