Name Property

Microsoft Office Visual Basic

Returns or sets the name of the specified object. Read/write String for the CommandBar, DocumentProperty, and SharedWorkspace objects; read-only String for all other objects.

Remarks

ShowName property as it applies to the CommandBar object.

The local name of a built-in command bar is displayed in the title bar (when the command bar isn't docked) and in the list of available command bars— wherever that list is displayed in the container application.

For a built-in command bar, the Name property returns the command bar's U.S. English name. Use the NameLocal property to return the localized name.

If you change the value of the LocalName property for a custom command bar, the value of Name changes as well, and vice versa.

ShowName property as it applies to the SharedWorkspaceMember object.

The Name property of the SharedWorkspaceMember object returns the friendly name for the shared workspace member, as specified in the DisplayName argument of the Add method of the SharedWorkspaceMembers collection. The SharedWorkspaceMember object has other properties that return the member's DomainName or Email.

Example

ShowAs it applies to the CommandBar object.

This example searches the collection of command bars for the command bar named "Custom." If this command bar is found, the example makes it visible.

foundFlag = False
For Each bar In CommandBars
    If bar.Name = "Custom" Then
        foundFlag = True
        bar.Visible = True
    End If
Next
If Not foundFlag Then
    MsgBox "'Custom' bar isn't in collection."
Else
    MsgBox "'Custom' bar is now visible."
End If
		

ShowAs it applies to the DocumentProperty object.

This example displays the name, type, and value of a document property. You must pass a valid DocumentProperty object to the procedure.

Sub DisplayPropertyInfo(dp As DocumentProperty)
    MsgBox "value = " & dp.Value & Chr(13) & _
        "type = " & dp.Type & Chr(13) & _
        "name = " & dp.Name
End Sub
