Parameters

controls
ControlCollection

The collection to add the control to. Do not supply this parameter yourself. When you call this method on the collection returned by the Controls property (in an application-level project) or the Controls property (in a document-level project), this parameter is supplied automatically.

The location of the control.

width
Single

The width of the control in points.

height
Single

The height of the control in points.

name
String

The name that can be used to index the control in the ControlCollection instance.

Returns

The control that was added to the document.

Exceptions

The name or range argument is null, or the name argument has zero length.

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

The range that was specified is not valid.

Examples

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

private void WordRangeAddTextBox()
{
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls.TextBox
         textBox1 = this.Controls.AddTextBox(
         this.Paragraphs[1].Range, 75, 15, "textBox1");
    textBox1.Text = "Sample text";
}
Private Sub WordRangeAddTextBox()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    Dim TextBox1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls. _
        TextBox = Me.Controls.AddTextBox(Me.Paragraphs(1).Range, _
        75, 15, "TextBox1")
    TextBox1.Text = "Sample text"
End Sub
