Formats Property (ObjectRenderer Object)

The Formats property returns a single Format object or a Formats collection. Read-only.

Syntax

Set objFormats = objObjectRend.Formats

Set objFormat = objObjectRend.Formats(index)

Set objFormat = objObjectRend.Formats(name)

objFormats
Object. The Formats collection of this object renderer.
objObjectRend
Required. The ObjectRenderer object.
objFormat
Object. An individual Format object belonging to this object renderer’s Formats collection.
index
Integer. An index into the object renderer’s Formats collection.
name
String. The reference name of a special-purpose Format object in the collection.

Data Type

Object (Format or Formats collection)

Remarks

Each format in the collection corresponds to a single property, except for special-purpose formats, which do not represent specific properties. Every property to be rendered should be represented by exactly one Format object.

If a Format object is to be accessed with the index parameter, the value of index must be between 1 and the size of the object renderer’s Formats collection. This size is available in the collection’s Count property.

Although the Formats property itself is read-only, the collection it returns can be accessed in the normal manner through its Add method, and the properties on its member Format objects retain their respective read/write or read-only accessibility.
