Examples

The following code example creates a SmartTag with an Action that recognizes the term "sale" and the regular expression "[I|i]ssue\s\d{5,6}". The action modifies the menu caption of the action at run time and displays the address of the text that was recognized. To test the example, type the word "sale" in one cell and the string "issue 12345" in another cell, and then try the smart tag action.

    private Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Action displayAddress;

    private void AddSmartTag()
    {
        Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.SmartTag smartTagDemo =
            Globals.Factory.CreateSmartTag(
                "www.microsoft.com/Demo#DemoSmartTag",
                "Demonstration Smart Tag");

        // Specify a term and an expression to recognize.
        smartTagDemo.Terms.Add("sale");
        smartTagDemo.Expressions.Add(
            new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(
            @"[I|i]ssue\s\d{5,6}"));

        displayAddress = Globals.Factory.CreateAction("To be replaced");


        // Add the action to the smart tag.
        smartTagDemo.Actions = new Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Action[] { 
            displayAddress };

        // Add the smart tag.
        this.VstoSmartTags.Add(smartTagDemo);

        displayAddress.BeforeCaptionShow += new 
            Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.BeforeCaptionShowEventHandler(
            DisplayAddress_BeforeCaptionShow);

        displayAddress.Click += new 
            Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ActionClickEventHandler(
            DisplayAddress_Click);
    }

    void DisplayAddress_BeforeCaptionShow(object sender, 
        Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ActionEventArgs e)
    {
        Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Action clickedAction =
            sender as Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Action;

        {

            "' is at range " + smartTagAddress);
