```cpp

AutoConnectElement& operator[](const String& name)

```
|
|
|
Returns a reference to the element specified by **name**. An operator `[]` is a shortcut for [getElement](apiaux.md#getelement) function with the reference casting. Unlike getElement, which returns a pointer to that element, an operator `[]` returns a reference to that element. You also need to cast the return value to the actual type, just like the getElement function.

!!! hint "You can directly access the value member variable."
|
|
|
If you are gripping with the sketch to the AutoConnectElements of the target that sets the value, you can access the value member variable directly. The following sketch code has the same effect.
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
|
AutoConnectAux aux;
|
|
|
// ... Griping the AutoConnectText here.
|
|
|
aux.setElementValue("TEXT_FIELD", "New value");
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
|
AutoConnectAux aux;
|
|
|
// ... Griping the AutoConnectText here.
|
|
|
AutoConnectText& text = aux.getElement<AutoConnectText>("TEXT_FIELD");
|
|
|
text.value = "New value";
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
The difference between the setElementValue and the value access with the [getElement](apiaux.md#getelement) is the certainty of the registration state for the element. The [getElement](apiaux.md#getelement) returns an empty object if the element is not registered then a sketch assigns the value to it. May occur unexpected results and crashes. You should use the setElementValue if its registration is unsettled.
