Examples

The following code example adds a new DatePickerContentControl to the beginning of the document. The example also modifies the format in which the control displays dates.

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

private Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.DatePickerContentControl datePickerControl1;

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

    datePickerControl1 = this.Controls.AddDatePickerContentControl("datePickerControl1");
    datePickerControl1.DateDisplayFormat = "MMMM d, yyyy";
    datePickerControl1.PlaceholderText = "Choose a date";
}
Dim datePickerControl1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.DatePickerContentControl

Private Sub AddDatePickerControlAtSelection()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.Select()
    datePickerControl1 = Me.Controls.AddDatePickerContentControl("datePickerControl1")
    datePickerControl1.DateDisplayFormat = "MMMM d, yyyy"
    datePickerControl1.PlaceholderText = "Choose a date"
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 AddDatePickerControlAtSelection method from the ThisAddIn_Startup method.

private Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.DatePickerContentControl datePickerControl1;

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

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

    datePickerControl1 = vstoDoc.Controls.AddDatePickerContentControl("datePickerControl1");
    datePickerControl1.DateDisplayFormat = "MMMM d, yyyy";
    datePickerControl1.PlaceholderText = "Choose a date";
}
Dim datePickerControl1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.DatePickerContentControl

Private Sub AddDatePickerControlAtSelection()
    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()
    datePickerControl1 = vstoDoc.Controls.AddDatePickerContentControl("datePickerControl1")
    datePickerControl1.DateDisplayFormat = "MMMM d, yyyy"
    datePickerControl1.PlaceholderText = "Choose a date"
End Sub

Remarks

A DatePickerContentControl provides a calendar that enables users to select a date. The calendar appears when the end user clicks the drop-down arrow in the control.

To specify the format of the date that is displayed, use the DateDisplayFormat and DateDisplayLocale properties. To choose a regional calendar, use the DateCalendarType property.

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 DatePickerContentControl 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.
