Adding Variable Objects

By clicking the Variable object button, you can assign a variable object to your picture or globally to the entire system. The variable can represent different values at different times. The variables you assign include the following:

  • Boolean
  • Byte
  • Short
  • Long
  • Float
  • Double
  • String

In Classic view, to create a Variable object, click the Variable object button on the Shapes toolbar. In Ribbon view, from the Insert tab, in the Objects/Links group, in the Objects/Links list, click Variable. If the Toolbox is enabled, click the button on the Toolbox. Next, complete the fields on the Create a Variable Object dialog box. To name a variable object, enter the name in the Variable Name field. The name must be consistent with VBA conventions. For more information on the various fields, click the Help button.
