 Microsoft::Office::Interop::Word::ContentControls ^ SelectLinkedControls(Microsoft::Office::Core::CustomXMLNode ^ node);

public Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ContentControls SelectLinkedControls (Microsoft.Office.Core.CustomXMLNode node);

member this.SelectLinkedControls : Microsoft.Office.Core.CustomXMLNode -> Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ContentControls

Public Function SelectLinkedControls (node As CustomXMLNode) As ContentControls

Parameters

node: CustomXMLNode

The CustomXMLNode to which the content controls are linked.

Returns

ContentControls

A ContentControls collection that contains the content controls that are linked to the specified custom XML node.

Examples

The following code example adds three plain text content controls to the current document. The example also adds a CustomXMLPart that contains employee data and links two of the content controls to XML nodes in the CustomXMLPart. Next, the code gets the controls that are linked to the employee name node, displays a message box that shows the number of linked controls found, and finally iterates through the linked controls to display the title of each linked control. When you run this code, you should get one linked control and its title should be Employee Name. To use this example, run it from the ThisDocument class in a document-level project.
