Remarks

Use the ControlCollection methods and properties to manage controls on a Word document. For more information, see Adding Controls to Office Documents at Run Time.

To get an ControlCollection object in a document-level project, use the Controls property of the ThisDocument class in your project. To get an ControlCollection object in an application-level project, use the Controls property of a Document host item that you create programmatically at run time. For more information, see Extending Word Documents and Excel Workbooks in Application-Level Add-ins at Run Time.

The following table shows how to use ControlCollection members to perform some common tasks related to controls on documents.

Task

Action

Add a control to the document.

Use one of the AddControlName methods. For example, to add a content control, use the AddContentControl method.

Remove a control from the document.

Use the Remove method.

Determine whether a control is in the collection.

Pass the control or its name to the Contains method.

Get the index of a control in the collection.

Pass the control or its name to the IndexOf method.

Get a control from the collection.

Pass the index or name of the control to the Item property.
