Is True if the value of the custom document property is linked to the content of the container document. False if the value is static. Read/write.
Syntax
expression.LinkToContent(pfLinkRetVal)
expression A variable that represents a DocumentProperty object.
Parameters
| Name | Required/Optional | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| pfLinkRetVal | Required | Boolean | Indicates whether the document property is linked to the container document. |
Remarks
This property applies only to custom document properties. For built-in document properties, the value of this property is False.
Use the LinkSource property to set the source for the specified linked property. Setting the LinkSource property sets the LinkToContent property to True.
For Excel, if LinkToContent is set to True, you must supply an address or range name for the LinkSource from the workbook. If the address or range name covers more than one cell, the custom document property takes the value from the top left cell of the range.
Example
This example displays the linked status of the custom document property. For the example to work, dp must be a valid DocumentProperty object.
Sub DisplayLinkStatus(dp As DocumentProperty)
Dim stat As String, tf As String
If dp.LinkToContent Then
tf = ""
Else
tf = "not "
End If
stat = "This property is " & tf & "linked"
If dp.LinkToContent Then
stat = stat + Chr(13) & "The link source is " & dp.LinkSource
End If
MsgBox stat
End Sub
