The ObjectPalette property specifies the palette in the application used to create:
Setting
Microsoft Access sets the value of the ObjectPalette property to a String data type containing the palette information. You can use this setting to set the value of the PaintPalette property for a form or report.
For the following objects, views, and controls, the ObjectPalette property setting is read-only. This property setting is unavailable for these controls in other views.
| Object | View | Control |
|---|---|---|
| Forms | Form Design view and Form view | Command button, chart, image control, toggle button, and unbound object frame. |
| Form view | Bound object frame. | |
| Reports | Report Design view | Command button, chart, image control, toggle button, and unbound object frame. This property setting is unavailable for a bound object frame in all views on a report. |
You can use the setting of this property only in a macro or Visual Basic.
If the application associated with the OLE object, bitmap, or other graphic doesn't have an associated palette, the ObjectPalette property is set to an zero-length string.
Remarks
The setting of the ObjectPalette property makes the palette of the application associated with the OLE object, bitmap, or other graphic contained in a control available to the PaintPalette property of a form or report. For example, to make the palette used in Microsoft Graph available when you're designing a form in Microsoft Access, you set the form's PaintPalette property to the ObjectPalette value of an existing chart control.
Note Windows can have only one color palette active at a time. Microsoft Access allows you to have multiple graphics on a form, each using a different color palette. The PaintPalette and PaletteSource properties let you specify which color palette a form should use when displaying graphics.
