Represents a smart tag in Microsoft Office Excel.
Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.v9.0 (in Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.v9.0.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
<PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.Demand, Name := "FullTrust")> _
Public Class SmartTag _
Inherits SmartTagBase
'Usage
Dim instance As SmartTag
[PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.Demand, Name = "FullTrust")]
public class SmartTag : SmartTagBase
[PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction::Demand, Name = L"FullTrust")]
public ref class SmartTag : public SmartTagBase
public class SmartTag extends SmartTagBase
Remarks
The SmartTag class is an implementation of the abstract SmartTagBase class for smart tags on Excel workbooks. For information about smart tags in Visual Studio Tools for Office solutions, see Smart Tags Architecture.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to create your own custom smart tag class that derives from SmartTag. The example overrides the Recognize method to recognize the first smart tag term found in a cell. This example assumes that you have added a reference to Microsoft Smart Tags 2.0 Type Library from the COM tab of the Add Reference dialog box. For a code example that uses the SmartTag class directly, see the Action class.
