OLEFormat Object

  • Article
Publisher Developer Reference

Represents the OLE characteristics, other than linking (see the LinkFormat object), for an OLE object, ActiveX control, or field.

Remarks

Not all types of shapes and fields have OLE capabilities. Use the Type property for the Shape object to determine into which category the specified shape falls.

Use the Activate and DoVerb methods to automate an OLE object.

Example

Use the OLEFormat property for a shape or field to return an OLEFormat object. The following example activates all OLE objects in the active publication.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub ActivateOLEObjects()
    Dim shpShape As Shape

For Each shpShape In ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Shapes
    If shpShape.Type = pbLinkedOLEObject Then
        shpShape.OLEFormat.Activate
    End If
Next



End Sub
