Tags Collection [Publisher 2003 VBA Language Reference]

Multiple objects Tags Tag

A collection of Tag objects that represents tags or custom properties applied to a shape, shape range, page, or publication.

Using the Tags Object

Use the Tags property to access the Tags collection. Use the Add method of the Tags collection to add a Tag object to a shape, shape range, page, or publication. This example adds a tag to each oval shape on the first page of the active publication.

Sub AddNewTag()
    Dim shp As Shape
    With ActiveDocument.Pages(1)
        For Each shp In .Shapes
            If InStr(1, shp.Name, "Oval") > 0 Then
                shp.Tags.Add Name:="Shape", Value:="Oval"
            End If
        Next shp
    End With
End Sub

Use the Count property to determine if a shape, shape range, page, or publication contains one or more Tag objects. This example fills all shapes on the first page of the active publication if the shape's first tag has a value of Oval.

Sub FormatTaggedShapes()
    Dim shp As Shape
    With ActiveDocument.Pages(1)
        For Each shp In .Shapes
            If shp.Tags.Count > 0 Then
                If shp.Tags(1).Value = "Oval" Then
                    shp.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(Red:=255, Green:=0, Blue:=0)
                End If
            End If
        Next shp
    End With
End Sub
