Object Property

Applies To

CheckBox control, ComboBox control, CommandButton control, Image control, Label control, ListBox control, MultiPage control, OptionButton control, ScrollBar control, SpinButton control, TabStrip control, TextBox control, ToggleButton control.

Description

Overrides a standard property or method when a new control has a property or method of the same name.

Syntax

object.Object[.property |.method]

The Object property syntax has these parts:

Part	Description

object	Required. The name of an object you have added to the Microsoft Forms Toolbox.
property	Optional. A property that has the same name as a standard Microsoft Forms property.
method	Optional. A method that has the same name as a standard Microsoft Forms method.

Remarks

Object is read-only.

If you add a new control to the Microsoft Forms Toolbox, it is possible that the added control will have a property or method with the same name as a standard Microsoft Forms property or method. The Object property lets you use the property or method from the added control, rather than the standard property or method.

Example

Assume a new control has a Top property that is different from the standard Top property in Microsoft Forms. You can use either property, based on the syntax:

control.Top uses the standard Top property.
control.Object.Top uses the Top property from the added control.
