Returns or sets a value that determines access to one or more additional features of the OLE container control.
Syntax
object.MiscFlags [ = value]
The MiscFlags property syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
| Object | An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. |
| Value | An integer or constant specifying access to an additional feature, as described in Settings. |
Settings
The settings for value are:
| Constant | Value | Description |
| VbOLEMiscFlagMemStorage | 1 | Causes the control to use memory to store the object while it's loaded. |
| VbOLEMiscFlagDisableInPlace | 2 | Overrides the control's default behavior of allowing in-place activation for objects that support it. |
Remarks
The vbOLEMiscFlagMemStorage flag setting is faster than the object's default action, which is to store it on disk as a temporary file. This setting can, however, use a great deal of memory for objects whose data requires a lot of space, such as a bitmap for a paint program.
If an object supports in-place activation, you can use the vbOLEMiscFlagDisableInPlace setting to force the object to activate in a separate window.
To combine values, use the Or operator. For example, to combine both flags, you could use this code:
Ole1.MiscFlags = vbOLEMiscFlagMemStorage Or _ vbOLEMiscFlagDisableInPlace
