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).

Examples

The following code example adds a DataGridView control to the start of the document, and then adds two columns to the control. To use this example, run it from the ThisDocument class in a document-level project.

Private Sub WordAddDataGridView()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    Dim DataGridView1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word. _
        Controls.DataGridView = Me.Controls.AddDataGridView( _
        0, 0, 190, 112.5F, "DataGridView1")
    DataGridView1.Columns.Add("firsName", "First Name")
    DataGridView1.Columns.Add("lastName", "Last Name")
End Sub

private void WordAddDataGridView()
{
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls.DataGridView
        dataGridView1 = this.Controls.AddDataGridView(
        0, 0, 190, 112.5F, "dataGridView1");
    dataGridView1.Columns.Add("firsName", "First Name");
    dataGridView1.Columns.Add("lastName", "Last Name");
