Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.v4.0.Utilities (in Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.v4.0.Utilities.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<ExtensionAttribute> _
Public Shared Function AddRadioButton ( _
    controls As ControlCollection, _
    range As Range, _
    name As String _
) As RadioButton

public static RadioButton AddRadioButton(
    this ControlCollection controls,
    Range range,
    string name
)

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.

range
Type: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range

A Range that provides the bounds for the control.

name
Type: System.String

The name of the control that can be used to index the control in the ControlCollection instance.

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 or range argument is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), or the name argument has zero length.
ControlNameAlreadyExistsException	A control with the same name is already in the ControlCollection instance.
InvalidRangeException	The range that was specified is not valid. Multi-area ranges cannot be used. The range should be on the same worksheet as the ControlCollection instance.

Remarks

The AddRadioButton method enables you to add RadioButton objects to the end of the ControlCollection. To remove a RadioButton that was previously added programmatically, use the Remove method.

The control automatically resizes when the range is resized.

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 worksheet in cells A1 and A2, and then assigns text to each control. To use this example, run it from the Sheet1 class in a document-level project.

Private Sub ExcelRangeAddRadioButton()

        Dim RadioButton1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools. _
            Excel.Controls.RadioButton = Me.Controls. _
            AddRadioButton(Me.Range("A1"), "RadioButton1")
        Dim RadioButton2 As Microsoft.Office.Tools. _
            Excel.Controls.RadioButton = Me.Controls. _
            AddRadioButton(Me.Range("A2"), "RadioButton2")

        RadioButton1.Text = "Bold"
        RadioButton2.Text = "Italic"
        RadioButton2.Checked = False 

    End Sub

private void ExcelRangeAddRadioButton()
{


    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.RadioButton
         radioButton1 = this.Controls.AddRadioButton(
         this.Range["A1"], "radioButton1");
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.RadioButton
         radioButton2 = this.Controls.AddRadioButton(
         this.Range["A2"], "radioButton2");
    radioButton1.Text = "Bold";
    radioButton2.Text = "Italic";
    radioButton2.Checked = false;

}
