The AddLinkLabel method enables you to add LinkLabel objects to the end of the ControlCollection. To remove a LinkLabel control that was previously added programmatically, use the Remove method.

Examples

The following code example adds a LinkLabel control to the top of the worksheet, and then changes the text to First Name. The code then changes the color of the link to blue and sets the LinkBehavior to HoverUnderline. To use this example, run it from the Sheet1 class in a document-level project.

Private Sub ExcelRangeAddListBox()

        Dim ListBox1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel. _
            Controls.ListBox = Me.Controls.AddListBox( _
            Me.Range("A1", "B6"), "ListBox1")

        ListBox1.Items.Add("First Item")
        ListBox1.Items.Add("Second Item")
        ListBox1.SelectedIndex = 0

    End Sub
private void ExcelRangeAddListBox()
{

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.ListBox
         listBox1 = this.Controls.AddListBox(
         this.Range["A1", "B6"], "lisBox1");
    listBox1.Items.Add("First Item");
    listBox1.Items.Add("Second Item");
