Examples

The following code example sets values in cells A1 through A3, and then uses the Insert method to insert a blank cell into a NamedRange control named NamedRange1 that is set to cell A1. This operation shifts the cells in the range down, which means that NamedRange1 is now set to cell A2. To demonstrate this, the example sets the value of NamedRange1 to Raven, which displays in cell A2.

This example is for a document-level customization.

Private Sub InsertIntoRange()
        Me.Range("A1").Value2 = "Robin" 
        Me.Range("A2").Value2 = "Sparrow" 
        Me.Range("A3").Value2 = "Crow" 

        Dim namedRange1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange _
            = Me.Controls.AddNamedRange(Me.Range("A1"), _
            "namedRange1")

        namedRange1.Insert(Excel.XlInsertShiftDirection.xlShiftDown, )
        namedRange1.Value2 = "Raven" 
    End Sub

private void InsertIntoRange()
{
    this.Range["A1"].Value2 = "Robin";
    this.Range["A2"].Value2 = "Sparrow";
    this.Range["A3"].Value2 = "Crow";

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange namedRange1 =
        this.Controls.AddNamedRange(this.Range["A1"],
        "namedRange1");

    namedRange1.Insert(Excel.XlInsertShiftDirection.xlShiftDown);
    namedRange1.Value2 = "Raven";
}
