Examples

The following code example demonstrates event handlers for the ContentUpdating and StoreUpdating events. This example assumes that the document contains a PlainTextContentControl named plainTextContentControl1 that is bound to an element in a custom XML part. For a code example that demonstrates how to bind a content control to an element in a custom XML part, see Walkthrough: Binding Content Controls to Custom XML Parts.

To use this code, paste it into the ThisDocument class in your project. For C#, you must also attach the event handlers to the ContentUpdating and StoreUpdating events of plainTextContentControl1.

This example is for a document-level customization.

Private Sub plainTextContentControl1_StoreUpdating(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.ContentControlStoreUpdatingEventArgs) _
    Handles PlainTextContentControl1.StoreUpdating

    MessageBox.Show("The control was changed to the following value: " & vbCrLf & _
        e.Content & vbCrLf & "This value is about to be written to the node that is bound to this control.")
End Sub 

Private Sub plainTextContentControl1_ContentUpdating(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.ContentControlContentUpdatingEventArgs) _
    Handles PlainTextContentControl1.ContentUpdating

    MessageBox.Show("The node that is bound to this control was changed to the following value: " & vbCrLf & _
        e.Content & vbCrLf & "This value is about to be written to this control.")
End Sub

void plainTextContentControl1_StoreUpdating(object sender, 
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.ContentControlStoreUpdatingEventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show("The control was changed to the following value: \n\n" +
        e.Content + "\n\nThis value is about to be written to the node that is bound to this control.");
}

void plainTextContentControl1_ContentUpdating(object sender, 
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.ContentControlContentUpdatingEventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show("The node that is bound to this control was changed to the following value: \n\n" +
        e.Content + "\n\nThis value is about to be written to this control.");
}
