Parameters

  • cset

    One or more characters. This argument is case sensitive.

  • count
    Type: System.Object%

    The maximum number of characters by which the Bookmark control is to be moved. Can be a number or either the wdForward or wdBackward constant. If Count is a positive number, the Bookmark control is moved forward in the document. If it is a negative number, the Bookmark control is moved backward. The default value is wdForward.

Return Value

The number of characters that the start position of the Bookmark control moved. If no Cset characters are found, the Bookmark control is not changed and the method returns 0 (zero).

Examples

The following code example adds a Bookmark control with text to the first paragraph and then moves the range of the bookmark while it can find the characters T, h, i, or s.

This example is for a document-level customization.

Private Sub BookmarkMoveStartWhile()

    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    Dim Bookmark1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark = _
        Me.Controls.AddBookmark(Me.Paragraphs(1).Range, "Bookmark1")
    Bookmark1.Text = "This is sample bookmark text."

    Bookmark1.MoveStartWhile("This", Bookmark1.Characters.Count)
End Sub
private void BookmarkMoveStartWhile()
{
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark bookmark1 =
        this.Controls.AddBookmark(this.Paragraphs[1].Range,
        "bookmark1");
    bookmark1.Text = "This is sample bookmark text.";

    object Count = bookmark1.Characters.Count;
    object cSet = "This";

    bookmark1.MoveStartWhile(ref cSet, ref Count);
}
