CustomProperty Object

  • Article
Excel Developer Reference

Represents identifier information. Identifier information can be used as metadata for XML.

Remarks

Use the Add method or the Item property of the CustomProperties collection to return a CustomProperty object.

Once a CustomProperty object is returned, you can add metadata to worksheets using the CustomProperties property with the Add method.

Example

In this example, Microsoft Excel adds identifier information to the active worksheet and returns the name and value to the user.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub CheckCustomProperties()

Dim wksSheet1 As Worksheet

Set wksSheet1 = Application.ActiveSheet

' Add metadata to worksheet.
wksSheet1.CustomProperties.Add _
    Name:="Market", Value:="Nasdaq"

' Display metadata.
With wksSheet1.CustomProperties.Item(1)
    MsgBox .Name & vbTab & .Value
End With



End Sub
