About this task
The UserWorkArea interface provides the getMode method for determining
the mode of a specific property. This method takes the property's key as an
argument and returns the mode as a PropertyModeType object. (See
Setting
property modes for more information on names of mode types.) If the
specified key does not exist in the work area, the method returns PropertyModeType.normal,
indicating that the property can be set and removed without error.
