Name or Tag property needed!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello CJ,

For CommandBar buttons, there is probably only the field "Caption" and ID to enter information. But, I must save a GUID on each button (for a later Select Case in "CommandBars_Execute(..)"). 

The only solution I see at the moment is to store a Array for each CommandBar-List. In the Array I save for each ID-Long-Value the right GUID. But this is not really nice...! 

So is there a way to store on each button a String-value?

I have not found a property such as "Tag" or "NameID". If there is not that could be added with v15?

	I requested a Variant tag property in issue track some time ago (as it would be useful for me to attach a class to a CommandBarControl), but was told that Variants pose a problem with save/restore. Personally, I don't think we need to save/restore the Tag property if it were variant (the associated objects are only valid for each runtime session in my case), but that's life. In any case, Oleg responded that the Parameter property is available to hold strings associated with a commandbar control. I haven't used it, but perhaps this is what you are looking for?

	Thank you! Yes, I think the property "Parameter" should help already. A special "GUID" property (such as the object model of Microsoft Office) would be better, because as for example with '.find "{1Af5E........}" ' could access directly to an command-object.
