Value Entries

<verb1>, <verb2>, ...

Each value specifies a verb, and its associated menu and verb flags. Each verb is specified by its own NamedValue / Value pair, as in verb number = <name, menu flag, verb flag> For example:
\Verb
0 = &Edit, 0, 2 // primary verb; on menu, possibly dirties object,
1 = &Play, 0, 3 // other verb; on menu; leaves object clean
-3 = Hide, 0, 1 // pseudo verb, hides window; not on menu, opt.
-2 = Open, 0, 1 // pseudo verb, opens in sep. window; not on menu, opt.
-1 = Show, 0, 1 // pseudo verb, show in preferred state; not on menu, opt.

See IOleObject::DoVerb for general information about verbs, descriptions of COM predefined verbs, and positive and negative verbs, plus other material.

Remarks

Verbs must be numbered consecutively. The first value after the verb string describes how the verb is appended by an AppendMenu function call.

The second value indicates whether the verb will dirty the object. It also indicates whether the verb should appear in the menu, as defined by COMVERBATTRIB enumeration, used by the COMVERB structure.

For still more information, see IOleObject::EnumVerbs and OleRegEnumVerbs.

Following are two example entries:

Verb 0: "Edit", MF_UNCHECKED | MF_ENABLED, no COMVERATTRIB flags:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000402-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
    \Verb\0 = &Edit,0,0 
 

Verb 1: "Open", MF_UNCHECKED | MF_ENABLED, no COMVERATTRIB flags:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000402-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
    \Verb\1 = &Open,0,0
