    controls As ControlCollection, _
    range As Range, _

Parameters

  • range
    Type: Range

    A Range that provides the bounds for the control.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.DomainUpDown
The DomainUpDown control that was added to the ControlCollection instance.

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 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.

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.

Remarks

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

The control automatically resizes when the range is resized.

Examples

The following code example adds a DomainUpDown control to cells A1 through B1, and then sets the background of the control to yellow. To use this example, run it from the Sheet1 class in a document-level project.

Private Sub ExcelRangeAddDomainUpDown()

        Dim DomainUpDown1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools. _
            Excel.Controls.DomainUpDown = Me.Controls. _
            AddDomainUpDown(Me.Range("A1", "B1"), _
            "DomainUpDown1")
        DomainUpDown1.BackColor = Color.Yellow

    End Sub
private void ExcelRangeAddDomainUpDown()
{

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.DomainUpDown
        domainUpDown1 = this.Controls.AddDomainUpDown(
        this.Range["A1", "B1"], "domainUpDown1");
    domainUpDown1.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
}
