Examples

The following code example adds a PropertyGrid control to the start of the document and a Button control beneath the PropertyGrid control. It then displays the properties of the button in the property grid. To use this example, run it from the ThisDocument class in a document-level project.

Private Sub WordAddPropertyGrid()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()

    Dim PropertyGrid1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls. _
        PropertyGrid = Me.Controls.AddPropertyGrid(0, 0, 150, _
        150, "PropertyGrid1")

    Dim Button1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls. _
        Button = Me.Controls.AddButton(0, 160, 56.25F, 17.25F, _
        "Button1")
    Button1.Text = "OK"

    PropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = Button1
End Sub 

private void WordAddPropertyGrid()
{
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls.PropertyGrid
         propertyGrid1 = this.Controls.AddPropertyGrid(
         0, 0, 150, 150, "propertyGrid1");

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls.Button button1 =
        this.Controls.AddButton(0, 160, 56.25F, 17.25F, "button1");
    button1.Text = "OK";

    propertyGrid1.SelectedObject = button1;
}
