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.RangeA Range that provides the bounds for the control.
name

Return Value
Type: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.ListView
The ListView 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 AddListView method enables you to add ListView objects to the end of the ControlCollection. To remove a ListView that was previously added programmatically, use the Remove method.
The control automatically resizes when the range is resized.
Examples
The following code example adds a ListView control to cells A1 through B6, changes the view to List, and then adds two items to the ListView. To use this example, run it from the Sheet1 class in a document-level project.
Private Sub ExcelRangeAddListView()
Dim ListView1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel. _
Controls.ListView = Me.Controls.AddListView( _
Me.Range("A1", "B6"), "ListView1")
ListView1.View = View.List
ListView1.Items.Add("Item 1")
ListView1.Items.Add("Item 2")
End Sub
private void ExcelRangeAddListView()
{
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.ListView
listView1 = this.Controls.AddListView(
this.Range["A1", "B6"], "listView1");
listView1.View = View.List;
listView1.Items.Add("Item 1");
listView1.Items.Add("Item 2");
}
