Remarks

Actions are the choices available on the smart tag shortcut menu when a smart tag of a certain type is recognized. To create an action, use the Globals.Factory.CreateAction method to create an Action object. For more information, see Smart Tags Architecture.

Note

This interface is implemented by the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. It is not intended to be implemented in your code. For more information, see Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime Overview.

Usage

This type is intended to be used only in projects for Excel 2007. Smart tags are deprecated in Excel 2010. For more information, see Smart Tags Overview.

This documentation describes the version of this type that is used in Office projects that target the .NET Framework 4. In projects that target the .NET Framework 3.5, this type might have different members and the code examples provided for this type might not work. For documentation about this type in projects that target the .NET Framework 3.5, see the following reference section in the Visual Studio 2008 documentation: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=160658.

Examples

The following code example creates a SmartTag with an Action that recognizes the term "sale" and the regular expression "[I|i]ssue\s\d{5,6}". The action modifies the menu caption of the action at run time and displays the address of the text that was recognized. To test the example, type the word "sale" in one cell and the string "issue 12345" in another cell, and then try the smart tag action.
