Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word (in Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Function AddPlainTextContentControl ( _
    contentControl As ContentControl, _
    name As String _
) As PlainTextContentControl

PlainTextContentControl AddPlainTextContentControl(

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

contentControl is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

-or-

name is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or has zero length.
ControlNameAlreadyExistsException

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

Remarks

Use this method to add a new PlainTextContentControl that is based on a native content control in the document at run time. This is useful when you create a PlainTextContentControl at run time, and you want to recreate the same control the next time the document is opened. For more information, see Adding Controls to Office Documents at Run Time.

Examples

The following code example creates a new PlainTextContentControl for every native plain text control that is in the document.

This version is for a document-level customization. To use this code, paste it into the ThisDocument class in your project, and call the CreateTextControlsFromNativeControls method from the ThisDocument_Startup method.

Private plainTextControls As New System.Collections.Generic.List _
    (Of Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.PlainTextContentControl)

Private Sub CreatePlainTextControlsFromNativeControls()
    If Me.ContentControls.Count <= 0 Then 
        Return 
    End If 

    Dim count As Integer = 0
    For Each nativeControl As Word.ContentControl In Me.ContentControls
        If nativeControl.Type = Word.WdContentControlType.wdContentControlText Then
            count += 1
            Dim tempControl As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.PlainTextContentControl = _
                Me.Controls.AddPlainTextContentControl(nativeControl, _
                "VSTOPlainTextContentControl" + count.ToString())
            plainTextControls.Add(tempControl)
        End If 
    Next nativeControl
End Sub

private System.Collections.Generic.List<Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.PlainTextContentControl> plainTextControls;

private void CreateTextControlsFromNativeControls()
{
    if (this.ContentControls.Count <= 0)
        return;

    plainTextControls = new System.Collections.Generic.List
        <Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.PlainTextContentControl>();
    int count = 0;

    foreach (Word.ContentControl nativeControl in this.ContentControls)
    {
        if (nativeControl.Type == Word.WdContentControlType.wdContentControlText)
        {
            count++;
            Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.PlainTextContentControl tempControl =
                this.Controls.AddPlainTextContentControl(nativeControl,
                "VSTOPlainTextContentControl" + count.ToString());
            plainTextControls.Add(tempControl);
        }
    }
}

This version is for an application-level add-in that targets the .NET Framework 4 or the .NET Framework 4.5. To use this code, paste it into the ThisAddIn class in your project, and call the CreateTextControlsFromNativeControls method from the ThisAddIn_Startup method.

The following code example creates a new PlainTextContentControl for every native plain text control that the user adds to the document.

This version is for a document-level customization. To use this code, paste it into the ThisDocument class in your project. For C#, you must also attach the ThisDocument_PlainTextContentControlAfterAdd event handler to the ContentControlAfterAdd event of the ThisDocument class.

Private Sub ThisDocument_PlainTextContentControlAfterAdd(ByVal NewContentControl As Word.ContentControl, _
    ByVal InUndoRedo As Boolean) Handles Me.ContentControlAfterAdd

    If NewContentControl.Type = Word.WdContentControlType.wdContentControlText Then 
        Me.Controls.AddPlainTextContentControl(NewContentControl, _
            "PlainTextControl" + NewContentControl.ID)
    End If 
End Sub

void ThisDocument_PlainTextContentControlAfterAdd(Word.ContentControl NewContentControl, bool InUndoRedo)
{
    if (NewContentControl.Type == Word.WdContentControlType.wdContentControlText)
    {
        this.Controls.AddPlainTextContentControl(NewContentControl,
            "PlainTextControl" + NewContentControl.ID);
    }
}

This version is for an application-level add-in that targets the .NET Framework 4 or the .NET Framework 4.5. To use this code, paste it into the ThisAddIn class in your project. Also, you must attach the ActiveDocument_PlainTextContentControlAfterAdd event handler to the ContentControlAfterAdd event of the active document.

Private Sub ActiveDocument_PlainTextContentControlAfterAdd( _
    ByVal NewContentControl As Word.ContentControl, _
    ByVal InUndoRedo As Boolean)

    Dim vstoDoc As Document = Globals.Factory.GetVstoObject(Me.Application.ActiveDocument)
    If NewContentControl.Type = Word.WdContentControlType. _
        wdContentControlText Then
        vstoDoc.Controls.AddPlainTextContentControl(NewContentControl, _
            "PlainTextControl" + NewContentControl.ID)
    End If 
End Sub

void ActiveDocument_PlainTextContentControlAfterAdd(
    Word.ContentControl NewContentControl, bool InUndoRedo)
{
    Document vstoDoc = Globals.Factory.GetVstoObject(this.Application.ActiveDocument);
    if (NewContentControl.Type == Word.WdContentControlType.wdContentControlText)
    {
        vstoDoc.Controls.AddPlainTextContentControl(NewContentControl,
            "PlainTextControl" + NewContentControl.ID);
    }
