Visual Basic: RichTextBox Control
Add Method (OLEObjects Collection)
See Also Example Applies To
Adds an OLEObject object to an OLEObjects collection.
Syntax
object.Addindex, key, sourcedoc, class
The Add Method syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
| object | Required. An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. |
| index | Optional. An integer that identifies a member of the object collection. If supplied, the new member will be inserted after the member specified by the index. |
| key | Optional. A unique string expression that can be used to access a member of the collection. The key and index arguments can be used interchangeably with the Item method of the collection to retrieve the OLEObject object. |
| sourcedoc | Required. The filename of a document used as a template for the embedded object. The RichTextBox control doesn't support linking, so the contents of the file will be copied into the OLEObject object. Must be a zero-length string ("") if you don't specify a source document. |
| class | Optional. The OLE class name for the object to be embedded. This argument is the ProgID used by OLE in the system registry. This argument is ignored if you specify a filename for sourcedoc. |
Remarks
The following code adds a Microsoft Excel worksheet to the RichTextBox and sets its Key property to "SalesData":
RichTextBox1.OLEObjects.Add , "SalesData", , "Excel.Sheet.5"
When an object is added to the collection, it immediately becomes in-place active so the user can add data to it.
