Tag Property

  • Article

Returns or sets information about the command bar control, such as data that can be used as an argument in procedures, or information that identifies the control. Read/write String.

expression.Tag

*expression   * Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

Remarks

To avoid duplicate calls of the same class when tiggered with events, define the Tag property unique to the events. The following example demonstrates this concept with two modules.

Public WithEvents oBtn As CommandBarButton

Private Sub oBtn_click(ByVal ctrl As Office.CommandBarButton, CancelDefault As Boolean)
    MsgBox "Clicked " & ctrl.Caption

End Sub

Dim oBtns As New Collection
     
Sub Use_Tag()
    
    Dim oEvt As CBtnEvent
    Set oBtns = Nothing

    For i = 1 To 5
        Set oEvt = New CBtnEvent
        Set oEvt.oBtn = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls.Add(msoControlButton)
        With oEvt.oBtn
            .Caption = "Btn" & i
            .Style = msoButtonCaption
            .Tag = "Hello" & i
        End With
        oBtns.Add oEvt
    Next
     
End Sub

Example

This example sets the tag for the button on the custom command bar to "Spelling Button" and displays the tag in a message box.

CommandBars("Custom").Controls(1).Tag = "Spelling Button"
MsgBox (CommandBars("Custom").Controls(1).Tag)
