Examples

The following code example adds a new BuildingBlockGalleryContentControl to the beginning of the document. The BuildingBlockGalleryContentControl displays equation building blocks that are provided by Microsoft Office Word.

This version is for a document-level customization. To use this code, paste it into the ThisDocument class in your project, and call the AddBuildingBlockControlAtSelection method from the ThisDocument_Startup method.

private Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.BuildingBlockGalleryContentControl buildingBlockControl1;

private void AddBuildingBlockControlAtSelection()
{
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.Select();

    buildingBlockControl1 = this.Controls.AddBuildingBlockGalleryContentControl(
        "buildingBlockControl1");
    buildingBlockControl1.PlaceholderText = "Choose an equation";
    buildingBlockControl1.BuildingBlockCategory = "Built-In";
    buildingBlockControl1.BuildingBlockType = Word.WdBuildingBlockTypes.wdTypeEquations;
}

Dim buildingBlockGalleryControl1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.BuildingBlockGalleryContentControl

Private Sub AddBuildingBlockGalleryControlAtSelection()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.Select()
    buildingBlockGalleryControl1 = Me.Controls.AddBuildingBlockGalleryContentControl( _
        "buildingBlockGalleryControl1")
    With buildingBlockGalleryControl1
        .PlaceholderText = "Choose an equation"
        .BuildingBlockCategory = "Built-In"
        .BuildingBlockType = Word.WdBuildingBlockTypes.wdTypeEquations
    End With
End Sub

This version is for an application-level add-in. To use this code, paste it into the ThisAddIn class in your project, and call the AddBuildingBlockControlAtSelection method from the ThisAddIn_Startup method.

private Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.BuildingBlockGalleryContentControl buildingBlockControl1;

private void AddBuildingBlockControlAtSelection()
{
    if (this.Application.ActiveDocument == null)
        return;

    Document vstoDoc = Globals.Factory.GetVstoObject(this.Application.ActiveDocument);
    vstoDoc.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    vstoDoc.Paragraphs[1].Range.Select();

    buildingBlockControl1 = vstoDoc.Controls.AddBuildingBlockGalleryContentControl(
        "buildingBlockControl1");
    buildingBlockControl1.PlaceholderText = "Choose an equation";
    buildingBlockControl1.BuildingBlockCategory = "Built-In";
    buildingBlockControl1.BuildingBlockType = Word.WdBuildingBlockTypes.wdTypeEquations;
}

Dim buildingBlockGalleryControl1 As BuildingBlockGalleryContentControl

Private Sub AddBuildingBlockGalleryControlAtSelection()
    If Me.Application.ActiveDocument Is Nothing Then
        Return
    End If

    Dim vstoDoc As Document = Globals.Factory.GetVstoObject(Me.Application.ActiveDocument)
    vstoDoc.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    vstoDoc.Paragraphs(1).Range.Select()
    buildingBlockGalleryControl1 = vstoDoc.Controls.AddBuildingBlockGalleryContentControl( _
        "buildingBlockGalleryControl1")
    With buildingBlockGalleryControl1
        .PlaceholderText = "Choose an equation"
        .BuildingBlockCategory = "Built-In"
        .BuildingBlockType = Word.WdBuildingBlockTypes.wdTypeEquations
    End With
End Sub

Remarks

A BuildingBlockGalleryContentControl displays a list of document building blocks that users can insert into a document. A document building block is a piece of content that has been created to be used multiple times, such as a common cover page, a formatted table, or a header. To choose the building blocks that you want to display, use the BuildingBlockCategory and BuildingBlockType properties.

For more information about document building blocks, see What's New for Developers in Word 2007.

Note

This interface is implemented by the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. It is not intended to be implemented in your code. For more information, see Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime Overview.

Content Controls

The BuildingBlockGalleryContentControl is one of eight types of content controls that you can use to design documents and templates in Microsoft Office Word. Content controls have a user interface (UI) that has controlled input like a form. You can use content controls to prevent users from editing protected sections of the document or template, and you can also bind content controls to a data source. For more information, see Content Controls.

Usage

This documentation describes the version of this type that is used in Office projects that target the .NET Framework 4 or later. In projects that target the .NET Framework 3.5, this type might have different members and the code examples provided for this type might not work. For documentation about this type in projects that target the .NET Framework 3.5, see the following reference section in the Visual Studio 2008 documentation: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=160658.
