ObjectVerbFlags Property

Object List Next Object

Defined By: OLE Control

Description:

Determines the menu state for each verb supported by a particular OLE object.

Details:

The default is the first verb in the ObjectVerbs list. All other verbs can be displayed in a menu. The ObjectVerbFlags list holds information about the menu state (such as grayed, checked, etc.) for each verb associated with a particular OLE object. The flags are indexed using the ObjectVerbsIndex Property.

When displaying a menu containing an object’s verbs, check the value of this property to see how the item should be displayed.

The following table lists the possible return values and menu states for the ObjectVerbFlags Property.

Value	Name	Menu State
&H0000	VF_ENABLED	The menu item should be enabled.
&H0001	VF_GRAYED	The menu item should be grayed.
&H0002	VF_DISABLED	The menu item should be disabled (but not grayed).
&H0008	VF_CHECKED	The menu item should be checked.
&H0800	VF_SEPARATOR	The menu item is a separator bar.

The ObjectVerbsCount, ObjectVerbsFlag, and ObjectVerbs Properties are often used together to set up and build a menu that gives the current list of verbs that an object supports along with the current 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.
