You can use the Verb property to specify the operation to perform when an OLE object is activated, which is permitted when the control’s Action property is set to acOLEActivate.
You can set the Verb property by specifying an Integer data type value indicating the position of a verb in the list of verbs returned by the ObjectVerbs property. A verb, such as edit or play, specifies an operation a user can perform on an OLE object. you can set the Verb property to 1 to specify the first verb in the list, you can set it to 2 to specify the second verb in the list, and so on.
You can set the Verb property using the property sheet, a macro, or Visual Basic. You can also set this property using the default control style.
If you don’t set the ObjectVerbs property, you can set the Verb property to one of the following values to indicate the operation to perform. These values specify the standard verbs supported by all objects.
