[Visual C#]

public void InvokeVerb(int VerbID, string ApplicationName, object Target, ISmartTagProperties Properties, string Text, string Xml)

Parameters

VerbIDThe unique ID of the verb to be invoked.

ApplicationNameA string that represents the name (ProgID) of the calling application. This is a way of getting the name of an application regardless of the object model. It is also used to identify applications that do not support passing in of a Target (because, for example, they are not automatable).

The following table lists ProgIDs for Microsoft applications.

Target  A reference to the application-specific object that is responsible for calling the smart tag. In Excel, it is an Excel range object that points to the cell that the smart tag was attached to. In Word and PowerPoint, it is a range object that wraps around the block of text that the smart tag refers to. In Access, it is a control. However, note that this object may be any other kind of pointer to an object appropriate for the calling application. It could also be Null.

Properties  The smart tag property bag. An action DLL can read, write, and modify these properties so that future action invocations can take advantage of the information.

Text  A read-only string that represents the text of the smart tag. For example, if a smart tag on a cell reads "MSFT", Text would equal "MSFT".

XML  A read-only string that is an XML representation of a smart tag.
