OLEClass Property

See Also                  Applies To

You can use the OLEClass property to obtain a description of the kind of OLE object contained in a chart control or an unbound object frame.

Setting

This property is set automatically in the control's property sheet to a string expression when you click Object on the Insert menu to add an OLE object to a form. The OLEClass property setting is read-only in all views.

Note   If you are using Automation (formerly called OLE Automation) and need to specify a name to refer to the OLE object, use the Class property.

Remarks

The OLEClass property and the Class property are similar but not identical. The OLEClass property setting is a general description of the OLE object whereas the Class property setting is the name used to refer to the OLE object in Visual Basic. Examples of OLEClass property settings are Microsoft Excel Chart, Microsoft Word Document, and Paintbrush Picture.
