The following code example adds a ProgressBar control to the start of the document, and then increases the current position of the ProgressBar to 50. To use this example, run it from the ThisDocument class in a document-level project.

Private Sub WordAddProgressBar()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    Dim ProgressBar1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls _
        .ProgressBar = Me.Controls.AddProgressBar(0, 0, 75, _
        17.25F, "ProgressBar1")
    ProgressBar1.Maximum = 100
    ProgressBar1.Step = 50
    ProgressBar1.PerformStep()
End Sub
private void WordAddProgressBar()
{
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls.ProgressBar
         progressBar1 = this.Controls.AddProgressBar(
         0, 0, 75, 17.25F, "progressBar1");
