Verb Property

Object List Next Object

Defined By: OLE Control

Description:

Each object supports a certain set of verbs, which represent actions that can be performed on that particular object. The Verb property allows you to specify which of these actions to perform when an object is activated using Action 7 - Do Verb.

Settings:

The following set of verbs is standard on every object:

---

Setting Operation

---

0 The object's designated default action.

-1 Opens the object for editing. If the object's application of origin supports in-place editing, the object can be edited from within the OLE control.

-2 Opens the object in a separate application window and moves the focus to the application of origin regardless of whether the object supports in-place editing.

-3 Hides the object's application of origin (embedded objects only).

Details:

Each object supports its own unique set of verbs. This set consists of four standard verbs, as well as one or more additional verbs like "edit" and "play." The applicability of these verbs is often dependent on the current state of the object.

Use the ObjectVerbs property to view a list of the "nonstandard" verbs that are supported. (Usually, the four standard verbs are not displayed in the ObjectVerbs list.) Refer to this list to specify the desired verbs. To specify the first verb listed, set Verb = 1. To specify the second verb listed, set Verb = 2, etc.
