Description

object

An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.

Remarks

This method is the primary mechanism for creating a custom property page for an object that is in the form of a VBA custom form, which is useful for creating Dynamo objects. When an object is modified, the order of execution is:

  1. If the object has an edit event, it is fired.
  2. If the object has a custom property page (ocxes, chart objects, alarm summary objects), it is fired.
  3. Otherwise, the animation dialog box is displayed.

TIP: Put all substitution logic in the Edit event and pass all object context into a shared or global form. Object names are automatically modified on a duplicate if the reference is in the event handler. Hard-coded object references in user forms are not modified when an object is duplicated.
