Parameters
- controls
Type: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ControlCollection
The collection to add the control to. Do not supply this parameter yourself. When you call this method on the collection returned by the Worksheet.Controls property (in an application-level project) or the WorksheetBase.Controls property (in a document-level project), this parameter is supplied automatically.
- left
Type: System.Double
The distance in points between the left edge of the control and the left edge of the worksheet.
- top
Type: System.Double
The distance in points between the top edge of the control and the top edge of the worksheet.
- width
Type: System.Double
The width of the control in points.
- height
Type: System.Double
The height of the control in points.
- name
Type: System.String
The name of the control.
Return Value
Type: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.RadioButton
The RadioButton control that was added to the ControlCollection instance.
Usage Note
In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type ControlCollection. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | The name argument is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or has zero length. |
| ControlNameAlreadyExistsException | A control with the same name is already in the ControlCollection instance. |
Remarks
The AddRadioButton method enables you to add RadioButton objects to the end of the ControlCollection. To remove a RadioButton control that was previously added programmatically, use the Remove method.
When you add multiple radio buttons directly to the document, the radio buttons are not mutually exclusive. You can write code to make the radio buttons mutually exclusive; however, the preferred approach is to add the radio buttons to a user control and then add the user control to the document.
Examples
The following code example adds two RadioButton controls to the top of the worksheet, and then assigns text to each control. To use this example, run it from the Sheet1 class in a document-level project.
Private Sub ExcelAddRadioButton()
Dim RadioButton1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools. _
Excel.Controls.RadioButton = Me.Controls. _
AddRadioButton(0, 0, 78, 18, "RadioButton1")
Dim RadioButton2 As Microsoft.Office.Tools. _
Excel.Controls.RadioButton = Me.Controls. _
AddRadioButton(0, 18, 78, 18, "RadioButton2")
RadioButton1.Text = "Bold"
RadioButton2.Text = "Italic"
RadioButton2.Checked = False
End Sub
private void ExcelAddRadioButton()
{
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.RadioButton
radioButton1 = this.Controls.AddRadioButton(
0, 0, 78, 18, "radioButton1");
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.RadioButton
radioButton2 = this.Controls.AddRadioButton(
0, 18, 78, 18, "radioButton2");
radioButton1.Text = "Bold";
radioButton2.Text = "Italic";
radioButton2.Checked = false;
