CCP603.44 4
 Properties, events and methods
• Every control will have certain properties,
methods and events to control its
appearance and behaviour.

• Properties- Characteristics that set the

appearance.

• Methods- Built- in procedures specifying what

to do

• Events- The actions in response to which the

methods respond

CCP603.44 5
List some common properties of
controls in VB

• Caption

• Name

• Text

CCP603.44 6
Properties of OLE Container Control

• Class- Name of the application that produced the

object.

• Object- A reference to the OLE object held in the

OLE control.

CCP603.44 7
Properties of OLE container control

• Auto activate- method to activate the server-

• 0- manual
• 1- getfocus
• 2- doubleclick
• 3- activateauto

• Display type- display type of the object-

• 0- contents
• 1- icon
CCP603.44 8
 Properties of OLE Container Control
• OLETypeAllowed- the nature of the object created
• 0- linked
• 1- embedded
• 2- either.

• OLEDropAllowed- allows/not allows drag & drop of

object at runtime.

• True- allows
• False- not allows

CCP603.44 9
 Properties of OLE container control
• SizeMode- Determines size of an object displayed in
the OLE control

• 0- clip

• 1- stretch

• 2- autosize

• 3- zoom

CCP603.44 10
 Properties of OLE container control
• Source Doc- Determines the file to embed or link

• Source Item- Determines the method of storing the

created objects at run time

0- linked

1- embedded

2- none

CCP603.44 11
 Methods of OLE Control
• CreateEmbed – Creates an embedded object from
the specified file and associates it
with the OLE control.

OLE1.CreateEmbed(C:\try.doc”)

• CreateLink- Creates a linked object from the

specified file and associates it with the
OLE control.

OLE1.CreateEmbed(C:\try.doc”)

CCP603.44 12
 Methods of OLE control
• InsertObjDlg - Displays the ‘Insert Object’ dialogue

box to select the type of object to

create.

OLE1.InsertObjDlg()

• Close - Closes the active server application

OLE1.close()

CCP603.44 13
Events of OLE control
• ObjectMove - called whenever the active object is
moved.

• Update - Occurs when the object’s data has

been changed.
