Tag property example

  • Article

The following example uses the Tag property to store additional information about each control on the UserForm. The user clicks a control and then clicks the CommandButton. The contents of Tag for the appropriate control are returned in the TextBox.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Declarations portion of a form. Make sure that the form contains:

  • A TextBox named TextBox1.
  • A CommandButton named CommandButton1.
  • A ScrollBar named ScrollBar1.
  • A ComboBox named ComboBox1.
  • A MultiPage named MultiPage1.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() 
 TextBox1.Text = ActiveControl.Tag 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() 
 TextBox1.Locked = True 
 TextBox1.Tag = "Display area for Tag properties." 
 TextBox1.AutoSize = True 
 
 CommandButton1.Caption = "Show Tag of Current " _ 
 & "Control." 
 CommandButton1.AutoSize = True 
 CommandButton1.WordWrap = True 
 CommandButton1.TakeFocusOnClick = False 
 CommandButton1.Tag = "Shows tag of control " _ 
 & "that has the focus." 
 
 ComboBox1.Style = fmStyleDropDownList 
 ComboBox1.Tag = "ComboBox Style is that of " _ 
 & "a ListBox." 
 
 ScrollBar1.Max = 100 
 ScrollBar1.Min = -273 
 ScrollBar1.Tag = "Max = " & ScrollBar1.Max _ 
 & " , Min = " & ScrollBar1.Min 
 
 MultiPage1.Pages.Add 
 MultiPage1.Pages.Add 
 MultiPage1.Tag = "This MultiPage has " _ 
 & MultiPage1.Pages.Count & " pages." 
End Sub
