Syntax

'Declaration
<ExtensionAttribute> _
Public Shared Function AddHScrollBar ( _
    controls As ControlCollection, _

)

Parameters

• controls
  Type: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.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 Worksheet.Controls property (in an application-level project) or the WorksheetBase.Controls property (in a document-level project), this parameter is supplied automatically.

• range
  Type: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range
  A Range that provides the bounds for the control.

• name
  Type: System.String
  The name of the control that can be used to index the control in the ControlCollection instance.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.HScrollBar
The HScrollBar 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

Remarks

The AddHScrollBar method enables you to add HScrollBar objects to the end of the ControlCollection. To remove an HScrollBar control that was previously added programmatically, use the Remove method.

The control automatically resizes when the range is resized.

Examples

The following code example adds an HScrollBar control to cells A1 through B1, and then moves the scroll box to the center of the scroll bar. To use this example, run it from the Sheet1 class in a document-level project.

    Private Sub ExcelRangeAddHScrollBar()
        Dim HScrollBar1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel. _
            Controls.HScrollBar = Me.Controls. _
            AddHScrollBar(Me.Range("A1", "B1"), _
            "HScrollBar1")
        HScrollBar1.Value = 50

    End Sub

private void ExcelRangeAddHScrollBar()
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.HScrollBar
        hScrollBar1 = this.Controls.AddHScrollBar(
        this.Range["A1", "B1"], "hScrollBar1");
    hScrollBar1.Value = 50;
}
