Returns the class name of the embedded object.
Syntax
object.Class
The object argument is an object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.
Remarks
A class name defines the type of an object. Applications that support OLE or Automation fully qualify the class names of their objects using either of the following syntaxes:
application.objecttype.version
objecttype.version
The syntax for OLE class names has the following parts:
| Part | Description |
| application | The name of the application that supplies the object. |
| objecttype | The object's name as defined in the object library. |
| version | The version number of the object or application that supplies the object. |
For example, Microsoft Excel version 5.0 supports a number of objects, including worksheets and charts. Their class names are Excel.Sheet.5 and Excel.Chart.5. Microsoft WordArt version 2.0 supports a single object with the class name MSWordArt.2.
Note Some OLE programming documentation refers to the class name syntax as a programmatic ID (ProgID).
Creating an object by using the Add method of the OLEObjects collection, automatically sets the Class property of the OLEObject object.
