SmartTagBase.Actions Property

  • Article

Gets or sets an array of actions that are exposed by the smart tag. This type or member is intended to be used only in projects for the 2007 Microsoft Office system. Smart tags are deprecated in Office 2010. .

Namespace:  Microsoft.Office.Tools
Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Tools.Common (in Microsoft.Office.Tools.Common.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Property Actions As ActionBase()

ActionBase[] Actions { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: array<Microsoft.Office.Tools.ActionBase[]
An array of actions that are exposed by the smart tag.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
InvalidOperationException

This property is set after the smart tag was added to a SmartTagCollection.

Remarks

The size of the array must be predetermined, because dynamically adding actions to the smart tag would cause all the smart tags in the document to reload.

Examples

The following code example creates a Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.SmartTag and then adds an action to the Actions property. This code example is part of a larger example provided for Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Action.

WithEvents displayAddress As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Action

Private Sub AddSmartTag()

    Dim smartTagDemo As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.SmartTag = _
        Globals.Factory.CreateSmartTag(
        "www.microsoft.com/Demo#DemoSmartTag",
        "Demonstration Smart Tag")

    ' Specify a term and an expression to recognize.
    smartTagDemo.Terms.Add("sale")
    smartTagDemo.Expressions.Add( _
        New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex( _
        "[I|i]ssue\s\d{5,6}"))

    displayAddress = Globals.Factory.CreateAction("To be replaced")

    ' Add the action to the smart tag.
    smartTagDemo.Actions = New Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Action() { _
            displayAddress}

    ' Add the smart tag. 
    Me.VstoSmartTags.Add(smartTagDemo)
End Sub

private Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Action displayAddress;

private void AddSmartTag()
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.SmartTag smartTagDemo =
        Globals.Factory.CreateSmartTag(
            "www.microsoft.com/Demo#DemoSmartTag",
            "Demonstration Smart Tag");

    // Specify a term and an expression to recognize.
    smartTagDemo.Terms.Add("sale");
    smartTagDemo.Expressions.Add(
        new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(
        @"[I|i]ssue\s\d{5,6}"));

    displayAddress = Globals.Factory.CreateAction("To be replaced");


    // Add the action to the smart tag.
    smartTagDemo.Actions = new Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Action[] { 
        displayAddress };

    // Add the smart tag. 
    this.VstoSmartTags.Add(smartTagDemo);

    displayAddress.BeforeCaptionShow += new 
        Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.BeforeCaptionShowEventHandler(
        DisplayAddress_BeforeCaptionShow);

    displayAddress.Click += new 
        Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ActionClickEventHandler(
        DisplayAddress_Click);
}
