Control.ObjectVerbs property (Access)
Use the ObjectVerbs property in Visual Basic to determine the list of verbs that an OLE object supports. Read-only String.
Syntax
expression.ObjectVerbs (Index)
expression A variable that represents a Control object.
Parameters
| Name | Required/Optional | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Index | Required | Long | An element in the array of supported verbs. This is a zero-based index, meaning zero (0) represents the first verb in the array, one (1) represents the second verb in the array, and so on. |
Remarks
This property setting isn't available in Design view.
Use the ObjectVerbs property with the ObjectVerbsCount property to display a list of the verbs supported by an OLE object. The ObjectVerbs property uses this list of verbs to determine which operation to perform when an OLE object is activated (when the Action property is set to acOLEActivate).
The Verb property setting is the position of a particular verb in the list of verbs returned by the ObjectVerbs property. For example, 1 specifies the first verb in the list (the Visual Basic command ObjectVerbs(0), or the first verb in the ObjectVerbs property array), 2 specifies the second verb in the list (the Visual Basic command ObjectVerbs(1), or the second verb in the ObjectVerbs property array), and so on.
The first verb in the ObjectVerbs property array, called by the Visual Basic command ObjectVerbs(0), is the default verb. If the Verb property hasn't been set, this verb specifies the operation performed when the OLE object is activated.
The list of verbs an object supports varies, depending on the state of the object. To update the list of verbs that an object supports, set the control's Action property to acOLEFetchVerbs. Be sure to update the list of verbs before presenting it to the user.
Example
The following example returns the verbs supported by the OLE object in the OLE1 control and displays each verb in a message box.
Sub GetVerbList(frm As Form, OLE1 As Control)
Dim intX As Integer, intNumVerbs As Integer
Dim strVerbList As String
' Update verb list.
With frm!OLE1
.Action = acOLEFetchVerbs
intNumVerbs = .ObjectVerbsCount
For intX = 0 To intNumVerbs - 1
strVerbList = strVerbList & .ObjectVerbs(intX) & "; "
Next intX
End With
' Display verbs in message box.
MsgBox Left(strVerbList, Len(strVerbList) - 2)
End Sub
