DocumentProperty.LinkToContent property (Office)

Is True if the value of the custom document property is linked to the content of the container document. False if the value is static. Read/write.

Syntax

expression.LinkToContent(pfLinkRetVal)

expression A variable that represents a DocumentProperty object.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data type	Description
pfLinkRetVal	Required	Boolean	Indicates whether the document property is linked to the container document.

Remarks

This property applies only to custom document properties. For built-in document properties, the value of this property is False.

Use the LinkSource property to set the source for the specified linked property. Setting the LinkSource property sets the LinkToContent property to True.

For Excel, if LinkToContent is set to True, you must supply an address or range name for the LinkSource from the workbook. If the address or range name covers more than one cell, the custom document property takes the value from the top left cell of the range.

Example

This example displays the linked status of the custom document property. For the example to work, dp must be a valid DocumentProperty object.

Sub DisplayLinkStatus(dp As DocumentProperty) 
 Dim stat As String, tf As String 
 If dp.LinkToContent Then 
 tf = "" 
 Else 
 tf = "not " 
 End If 
 stat = "This property is " & tf & "linked" 
 If dp.LinkToContent Then 
 stat = stat + Chr(13) & "The link source is " & dp.LinkSource 
 End If 
 MsgBox stat 
End Sub
