Namespace:  Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word
Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word (in Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Function MoveStartUntil ( _
    ByRef cset As Object, _
    ByRef count As Object _
) As Integer

int MoveStartUntil(
    ref Object cset,
    ref Object count
)

Parameters

  • cset
    Type: System.Object%

    One or more characters. This argument is case sensitive.

  • count
    Type: System.Object%

    The maximum number of characters by which the Bookmark control is to be moved. Can be a number or either the wdForward or wdBackward constant. If Count is a positive number, the Bookmark control is moved forward in the document. If it is a negative number, the Bookmark control is moved backward. The default value is wdForward.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
The number of characters by which the start position of the Bookmark control moved. If Count is greater than 0 (zero), this method returns the number of characters moved plus 1. If Count is less than 0 (zero), this method returns the number of characters moved minus 1. If no Cset characters are found, the Bookmark control is not changed and the method returns 0 (zero).

Remarks

If the movement is backward through the document, the Bookmark control is expanded.

If the start position is moved forward to a point beyond the end position, the Bookmark control is collapsed and both the start and end positions are moved together.

Optional Parameters

Examples

The following code example adds a Bookmark control with text to the first paragraph and then moves the range of the bookmark until it finds a space.

This example is for a document-level customization.

Private Sub BookmarkMoveStartUntil()

    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    Dim Bookmark1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark = _
        Me.Controls.AddBookmark(Me.Paragraphs(1).Range, "Bookmark1")
    Bookmark1.Text = "This is sample bookmark text."

    Bookmark1.MoveStartUntil(" ", Bookmark1.Characters.Count)
End Sub

private void BookmarkMoveStartUntil()
{
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark bookmark1 =
        this.Controls.AddBookmark(this.Paragraphs[1].Range,
        "bookmark1");
    bookmark1.Text = "This is sample bookmark text.";

    object Count = bookmark1.Characters.Count;
    object cSet = " ";

    bookmark1.MoveStartUntil(ref cSet, ref Count);
}
