Syntax

Function AddOLEControl( _
    <InAttribute()> Optional ByRef ClassType As Object, _
    <InAttribute()> Optional ByRef Range As Object _
) As InlineShape

InlineShape AddOLEControl(
    [In, Optional] ref object ClassType, 
    [In, Optional] ref object Range

    &Object^ ClassType, 
    &Object^ Range
);

public InlineShape AddOLEControl(
    /*in*/System.Object ClassType, 
    /*in*/System.Object Range
);

function AddOLEControl(
     ClassType : Object, 
     Range : Object
) : InlineShape;

Parameters

• ClassType
  Optional Object. The programmatic identifier for the ActiveX control to be created.

• Range
  Optional Object. The range where the ActiveX control will be placed in the text. The ActiveX control replaces the range, if the range isn't collapsed. If this argument is omitted, the Active X control is placed automatically.

Remarks

This method returns the InlineShape object that represents the new ActiveX control.

ActiveX controls are represented as either Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Shape objects or InlineShape objects in Microsoft Word. To modify the properties for an ActiveX control, use the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.OLEFormat.Object property of the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.OLEFormat object for the specified shape or inline shape.
