_OLEObject Interface

Definition

Namespace:

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel

Assembly:

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll

This is a primary interface in a COM coclass that is required by managed code for interoperability with the corresponding COM object. Use this primary interface only when the method you want to use shares the same name as an event of the COM object; in this case, cast to this interface to call the method, and cast to the latest events interface to connect to the event. Otherwise, use the .NET interface that is derived from the COM coclass to access methods, properties, and events of the COM object. For more information about the COM object, see OLEObject.

Properties

AltHTML	Reserved for internal use.
Application	This property returns an Application object that represents the creator of the specified object (you can use this property with an OLE Automation object to return the application of that object). Read-only.
AutoLoad	True if the OLE object is automatically loaded when the workbook that contains it is opened. Read/write Boolean.
AutoUpdate	True if the OLE object is updated automatically when the source changes. Valid only if the object is linked (its OLEType property must be xlOLELink). Read-only Boolean.
Border	Returns a Border object that represents the border of the object.
BottomRightCell	Returns a Range object that represents the cell that lies under the lower-right corner of the object. Read-only.
Creator	Returns a 32-bit integer that indicates the application in which this object was created. If the object was created in Microsoft Excel, this property returns the string XCEL, which is equivalent to the hexadecimal number 5843454C. Read-only xlCreatorCode.
Enabled	True if the object is enabled. Read/write Boolean.
Height	The height, in points, of the object. Read/write Double.
Index	Returns the index number of the object within the collection of similar objects. Read-only Integer.
Interior	Returns an Interior object that represents the interior of the specified object.
Left	The distance, in points, from the left edge of the object to the left edge of column A (on a worksheet) or the left edge of the chart area (on a chart). Read/write Double.
LinkedCell	Returns or sets the worksheet range linked to the control's value. If you place a value in the cell, the control takes this value. Likewise, if you change the value of the control, that value is also placed in the cell. Read/write String.
ListFillRange	Returns or sets the worksheet range used to fill the specified list box. Setting this property destroys any existing list in the list box. Read/write String.
Locked	True if the object is locked, False if the object can be modified when the sheet is protected. Read/write Boolean.
Name	Returns or sets the name of the object. Read/write String.
Object	Returns the OLE Automation object associated with this OLE object. Read-only Object.
OLEType	Returns the OLE object type. Can be one of the following XlOLEType constants: xlOLELink or xlOLEEmbed. Returns xlOLELink if the object is linked (it exists outside of the file) or returns xlOLEEmbed if the object is embedded (it's entirely contained within the file). Read-only Object.
OnAction	Returns or sets the name of a macro that’s run when the specified object is clicked. Read/write String.
Parent	Returns the parent object for the specified object. Read-only.
Placement	Returns or sets the way the object is attached to the cells below it. Read/write Object.
PrintObject	True if the object will be printed when the document is printed. Read/write Boolean.
progID	Returns the programmatic identifiers for the object. Read-only String.
Shadow	True if the font is a shadow font or if the object has a shadow. Read/write Boolean.
ShapeRange	Returns a ShapeRange object that represents the specified object or objects. Read-only.
SourceName	Returns or sets the specified object's link source name. Read/write String.
Top	The distance, in points, from the top edge of the object to the top of row 1 (on a worksheet) or the top of the chart area (on a chart). Read/write Double.
TopLeftCell	Returns a Range object that represents the cell that lies under the upper-left corner of the specified object. Read-only.
Visible	Determines whether the object is visible. Read/write Boolean.
Width	The width, in points, of the object. Read/write Double.
ZOrder	Returns the z-order position of the object. Read-only Integer.

Methods

Activate()	Activates the object.
BringToFront()	Brings the object to the front of the z-order.
Copy()	Copies the object to the Clipboard.
CopyPicture(XlPictureAppearance, XlCopyPictureFormat)	Copies the selected object to the Clipboard as a picture. Object.
Cut()	Cuts the object to the Clipboard or pastes it into a specified destination.
Delete()	Deletes the object.
Duplicate()	Duplicates the object and returns a reference to the new copy.
Select(Object)	Selects the object.
SendToBack()	Sends the object to the back of the z-order.
Update()	Updates the link.
Verb(XlOLEVerb)	Sends a verb to the server of the specified OLE object.
