ObjectVerbs Property

Object List Next Object

Defined By: OLE Control

Description:

Returns one of the verbs or actions that an object supports.

Details:

The ObjectVerbs Property is a zero-based string, which returns one of the verbs that apply to a particular OLE object. These verbs are used to determine an action to perform when an OLE object is activated (set Action = 7). The verbs are indexed using the ObjectVerbsIndex Property.

The first verb listed has an index of 0 and is the default; the action that is performed when the object is activated. All other verbs can be displayed in a menu. Frequently, the default verb is also displayed in a menu. In this case, the default verb will have two entries in the ObjectVerbs indexed list.

The ObjectVerbsCount Property returns the total number of verbs supported by an object. The ObjectVerbsFlag Property returns the current state of each verb. These two properties are often used along with the ObjectVerbs Property to set up and build a menu listing the verbs that an object currently supports along with the state of each verb. An example of this is the Object Command that many applications displaying OLE objects include. When the user selects Edit Object, a menu drops down to display the object's verbs.
