 static Microsoft::Office::Tools::Excel::Controls::PictureBox ^ AddPictureBox(Microsoft::Office::Tools::Excel::ControlCollection ^ controls, Microsoft::Office::Interop::Excel::Range ^ range, System::String ^ name);

<Extension()>
Public Function AddPictureBox (controls As ControlCollection, range As Range, name As String) As PictureBox

Parameters

controls
ControlCollection

The collection to add the control to. Do not supply this parameter yourself. When you call this method on the collection returned by the Controls property (in an application-level project) or the Controls property (in a document-level project), this parameter is supplied automatically.

range
Range

A Range that provides the bounds for the control.

name
String

The name of the control that can be used to index the control in the ControlCollection instance.

Returns

PictureBox

The PictureBox control that was added to the ControlCollection instance.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

The name or range argument is null, or the name argument has zero length.

ControlNameAlreadyExistsException

A control with the same name is already in the ControlCollection instance.

InvalidRangeException

The range that was specified is not valid. Multi-area ranges cannot be used. The range should be on the same worksheet as the ControlCollection instance.

Examples

The following code example adds a PictureBox control to cells A1 through C12, and then adds an image. The example assumes a file named Image.jpg exists at the root of the C directory. To use this example, run it from the Sheet1 class in a document-level project.

private void ExcelRangeAddPictureBox()
{

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.PictureBox
         pictureBox1 = this.Controls.AddPictureBox(
         this.Range["A1", "C12"], "pictureBox1");
    pictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(
        "C:\\Image.jpg");
}

Private Sub ExcelRangeAddPictureBox()

    Dim PictureBox1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools. _
        Excel.Controls.PictureBox = Me.Controls. _
        AddPictureBox(Me.Range("A1", "C12"), _
        "PictureBox1")

    PictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Image. _
        FromFile("C:\Image.jpg")

End Sub

Remarks

The AddPictureBox method enables you to add PictureBox objects to the end of the ControlCollection. To remove a PictureBox that was previously added programmatically, use the Remove method.

The control automatically resizes when the range is resized.
