Hello

I am trying to write a more or less generic procedure to work with iGrid objects that would be passed a a parameter.

As such I am defining my procedure as


this compiles fine but some properties are missing (for instance the .Tag property)



What am I missing ?

iGrid does not implement the Tag property itself. Most likely, you've seen it in VB6, but this is one of the so called extender properties provided dynamically by the host environment. This means it may be absent in other development environments like VBA.

To find out more about extender properties, read the following MSDN articles:

iGrid does not implement the Tag property itself. Most likely, you've seen it in VB6, but this is one of the so called extender properties provided dynamically by the host environment. This means it may be absent in other development environments like VBA.

Hmm strange.

Using VBA / Excel 2007 I certainly see it in the property panel and I can refer to it in code

Oh, it's a specific way of processing form controls in VBA code. You need to do something like this:


As I wrote, the iGrid class does not implement the Tag property - and that's why the compilation of your code fails. The Tag is also an extender property in VBA, and to access it, you need to look through the prism of the Control class.
