Solved: Those little icons besides the Object Brower Objects

[YellowLabPro]

As I dwelve deeper into the VBA model, more things are exposed and have greater meaning. I am wondering what the little icons indicate-- I am assuming they indicate the different types of objects, class, member etc...
For example Average has a neon green book as its icon, while xlAverage has a grey square as its icon. Would be helpful to know their significance.



Thanks,

YLP

Flying green book: method
Pointing finger: property
Pointing finger with a blue dot: default property
Lightning flash: event
Grey parchment: builtin constant

Thanks again Xld,
Is there a reference I can refer to? There a few more, like the double yellow parchment, and the tri-colored triangle under classes.

And one other thing on the same topic--
F1 Help on Classes: The help screen comes up w/ a heireichal map w/ aqua and yellow rectangles... what do these indicate?

Thanks once again for your patience and assistance.

I must admit I never take any notice of them. Can you give an example of those two?

double yellow parchment: Enumeration category
tri-colored triangle: Object

This page has an explanation

And if you press F1 within VBE you should get the start page which has a hyperlinked item 'Object Browser'. Half way down the page is another link to Icons. This page explains each Icon.

Yellow boxes are collections
Blue boxes are objects

Thanks Andy.
I looked over both, the link and the Help page. Great stuff--
Kind of cool- in doing this, I found that the items used in my open workbooks showup in the Classes Window- like I am using a Msgbox in a worksheet-- VBAX_Exercise1 which the icon shows me that this is a Module and shows up as an Interaction in the Search Results window up top ...

This is good stuff

I am still trying to get more info on the Hierarchical listings...
I see that you showed me about collections and objects, so that is a good start.

thanks again,

Why would that be of interest to me particularly?

Hi xld,
just thought it would be. You wrote that you had not noticed this previously and wanted an example. You offer a lot of assistance to the community and this may be something useful for another VBAer....

[Bob Phillips]

I said that I never take any notice of the icons Yelp (in the object browser), so I asked for examples so that I could explain them to you.:)

[YellowLabPro]

Ahhhh--
I see, well anyway your and Andy's posts helped a lot. Now when I see those little Icons it helps my frame of reference of what their function is. The library reference is super cool too. Well, off to study more... thanks again
