MOD2000: How to Find Workflow Toolbar Control's Properties That Are Not on the Property Sheet (242782)

MORE INFORMATION

Help references the BackColor property, which does not exist on the toolbar properties sheet. However, this property does exist on the toolbar's Appearance tab as BackgroundColor.

You can find all of the properties for the Workflow Toolbar Control by following these steps:

1. Create a new data access page in Microsoft Access 2000.
2. Place fields from a workflow-enabled view onto the page.
3. Set the page header's UniqueTable property (on the page header's Data tab) to the view's base table. For example, if the view is named PurchaseOrdersView, set the page header's UniqueTable property to PurchaseOrders.
4. Insert the Microsoft Office Developer Workflow Toolbar (the Workflow Toolbar Control) onto this page.
5. Click the Workflow Toolbar Control. View the control's property sheet. Make note of the ID on the Other tab.
6. Right-click a portion of the page where no objects exist, and then click Microsoft Script Editor.
7. Scroll down the HTML source until you find the Workflow Toolbar Control. Place the mouse pointer after the Workflow Toolbar Control, right-click, and then click Script Block.
8. Click Client.
9. At the blinking pointer, type the ID name from Step 5 followed by a period. For example, if the ID in Step 5 is ActiveXCtl1, type the following:

   ActiveXCtl1.
   						

   Note that AutoListMembers appears, and that it lists the property that you want.

7. Click OK to insert the toolbar.
8. After you insert the toolbar, right click the control, and then click Properties.
