ContentControl.Type Property

Word Developer Reference

Returns or sets a WdContentControlType that represents the type for a content control. Read/write.

Syntax

expression.Type

expression   An expression that returns a ContentControl object.

Remarks

You can use the Type property to change the type of a content control from one type to another. However, the ability to change the type of control depends on the original type and on the content inside the content control at the time of the change. All content controls can be changed to rich text or building block gallery type content controls because these types allow arbitrary content. For other types, if the content is valid for the type that you want to change to, then changing the type is allowed. Otherwise, the change is rejected, resulting in a run-time error.

Example
The following example checks to see if the specified content control is a drop-down list box or a combo box, and if it is one of these two types, moves the last item in the list up, so that it becomes the first item in the list.

Visual Basic for Applications
  Dim objCC As ContentControl
Dim objCL As ContentControlListEntry
Dim intCount As Integer

Set objCC = ActiveDocument.ContentControls.Item(3)

If objCC.Type = wdContentControlComboBox Or _ objCC.Type = wdContentControlDropdownList Then

Set objCL = objCC.DropdownListEntries.Item(objCC.DropdownListEntries.Count)

For intCount = 1 To objCC.DropdownListEntries.Count
    objCL.MoveUp
Next

End If
