Public Function SelectContentControlsByTag (tag As String) As ContentControls

Parameters

tag: String

The tag of the content controls to return.

Returns

ContentControls

A ContentControls collection that contains the content controls that have the specified tag.

Examples

The following code example adds three paragraphs to the document and then adds one control to each new paragraph: a RichTextContentControl, a ComboBoxContentControl, and a DropDownListContentControl. The example sets the Tag and Title properties of each control. Next, the code calls the SelectContentControlsByTag method to get the collection of native content controls whose tag value equals Customer and then displays the title of each control from the returned collection in a message box. To use this example, run it from the ThisDocument class in a document-level project.

    Word.Paragraph par1 = this.Paragraphs.Add(ref missing);
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.RichTextContentControl richTextControl =

        "richTextControl");
    richTextControl.Tag = "Customer";
    richTextControl.Title = "Customer Name";

        "comboBoxControl");
    comboBoxControl.Tag = "Customer";
    comboBoxControl.Title = "Customer Title";

        dropDownListControl = this.Controls.AddDropDownListContentControl(
        par3.Range, "dropDownListControl");
    dropDownListControl.Tag = "Products";
    dropDownListControl.Title = "List of Products";
