Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | The name or range argument is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), or the name argument has zero length. |
| ControlNameAlreadyExistsException | A control with the same name is already in the ControlCollection instance. |

This method enables you to add LinkLabel objects to the end of the ControlCollection.
To remove a LinkLabel that was added programmatically, use the Remove method.
Examples
The following code example adds a LinkLabel control to the first paragraph in the document, and then changes the text to First Name. The code then changes the color of the link to blue and sets the LinkBehavior property to the HoverUnderline value of the LinkBehavior enumeration. To use this example, run it from the ThisDocument class in a document-level project.
Private Sub WordRangeAddLinkLabel()
Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
Dim LinkLabel1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls. _
LinkLabel = Me.Controls.AddLinkLabel(Me.Paragraphs(1). _
Range, 75, 17.25F, "LinkLabel1")
LinkLabel1.Text = "First Name"
LinkLabel1.LinkColor = Color.Blue
LinkLabel1.LinkBehavior = LinkBehavior.HoverUnderline
End Sub
private void WordRangeAddLinkLabel()
{
this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls.LinkLabel
linkLabel1 = this.Controls.AddLinkLabel(
this.Paragraphs[1].Range, 75, 17.25F, "linkLabel1");
linkLabel1.Text = "First Name";
linkLabel1.LinkColor = Color.Blue;
linkLabel1.LinkBehavior = LinkBehavior.HoverUnderline;
