Article
02/06/2013

Gets or sets an array of actions that are exposed by the smart tag.

Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Tools
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Common (in Microsoft.Office.Tools.Common.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Property Actions As ActionBase()

ActionBase[] Actions { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: array<Microsoft.Office.Tools.ActionBase[]
An array of actions that are exposed by the smart tag.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
InvalidOperationException	This property is set after the smart tag was added to a SmartTagCollection.

Remarks

The size of the array must be predetermined, because dynamically adding actions to the smart tag would cause all the smart tags in the document to reload.

Examples

The following code example creates a Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.SmartTag and then adds an action to the Actions property. This code example is part of a larger example provided for Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Action.

WithEvents displayAddress As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Action

Private Sub AddSmartTag()

    ' Create the smart tag for .NET Framework 4 projects.
    Dim smartTagDemo As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.SmartTag = _
        Globals.Factory.CreateSmartTag(
        "www.microsoft.com/Demo#DemoSmartTag",
        "Demonstration Smart Tag")

    ' For .NET Framework 3.5 projects, use the following code to create the smart tag.
    ' Dim smartTagDemo As New  _
    '    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.SmartTag( _
    '    "www.microsoft.com/Demo#DemoSmartTag", _
    '    "Demonstration Smart Tag")

    ' Specify a term and an expression to recognize.
    smartTagDemo.Terms.Add("sale")
    smartTagDemo.Expressions.Add( _
        New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex( _
        "[I|i]ssue\s\d{5,6}"))

    ' Create the action for .NET Framework 4 projects.
    displayAddress = Globals.Factory.CreateAction("To be replaced")

    ' For .NET Framework 3.5 projects, use the following code to create the action.
    ' displayAddress = New Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Action("To be replaced")

    ' Add the action to the smart tag.
    smartTagDemo.Actions = New Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Action() { _
            displayAddress}

    ' Add the smart tag.
    Me.VstoSmartTags.Add(smartTagDemo)

    // For .NET Framework 3.5 projects, use the following code to create the action.
    // displayAddress = new Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Action("To be replaced");

    // Add the action to the smart tag.
    smartTagDemo.Actions = new Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Action[] { 
        displayAddress };

    // Add the smart tag.
    this.VstoSmartTags.Add(smartTagDemo);

    displayAddress.BeforeCaptionShow += new 
        Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.BeforeCaptionShowEventHandler(
        DisplayAddress_BeforeCaptionShow);

    displayAddress.Click += new 
        Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ActionClickEventHandler(
        DisplayAddress_Click);
