Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.v4.0.Utilities (in Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.v4.0.Utilities.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<ExtensionAttribute> _
Public Shared Function AddRadioButton ( _
    controls As ControlCollection, _
    left As Single, _
    top As Single, _
    width As Single, _
    height As Single, _
    name As String _
) As RadioButton
public static RadioButton AddRadioButton(
    this ControlCollection controls,
    float left,
    float top,
    float width,
    float height,
    string name
)

Parameters

  • left
    Type: System.Single
    The distance in points between the left edge of the control and the left edge of the document.
  • top
    Type: System.Single
    The distance in points between the top edge of the control and the top edge of the document.
  • height
    Type: System.Single
    The height of the control in points.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls.RadioButton
The control that was added to the document.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type ControlCollection. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

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

ControlNameAlreadyExistsException

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

Remarks

This method enables you to add RadioButton objects to the end of the ControlCollection.

To remove a RadioButton that was added programmatically, use the Remove method.

When you add multiple radio buttons directly to the document, the radio buttons are not mutually exclusive. You can write code to make the radio buttons mutually exclusive; however, the preferred approach is to add the radio buttons to a user control and then add the user control to the document.

Examples

The following code example adds two RadioButton controls to the document, and then assigns text to each control. To use this example, run it from the ThisDocument class in a document-level project.

Private Sub WordAddRadioButton()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    Dim RadioButton1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls. _
        RadioButton = Me.Controls.AddRadioButton(0, 0, 78, 18, _
        "RadioButton1")
    Dim RadioButton2 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls. _
        RadioButton = Me.Controls.AddRadioButton(0, 18, 78, 18, _
        "RadioButton2")
    RadioButton1.Text = "Bold"
    RadioButton2.Text = "Italic"
End Sub 
private void WordAddRadioButton()
{
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls.RadioButton
         radioButton1 = this.Controls.AddRadioButton(
         0, 0, 78, 18, "radioButton1");
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls.RadioButton
         radioButton2 = this.Controls.AddRadioButton(
         0, 18, 78, 18, "radioButton2");
    radioButton1.Text = "Bold";
    radioButton2.Text = "Italic";
}
