Examples

The following code example adds a new RichTextContentControl to the beginning of the document.

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

private Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.RichTextContentControl richTextControl1;

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

    richTextControl1 = this.Controls.AddRichTextContentControl("richTextControl1");
    richTextControl1.PlaceholderText = "Enter your first name";
}
Dim richTextControl1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.RichTextContentControl

Private Sub AddRichTextControlAtSelection()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.Select()
    richTextControl1 = Me.Controls.AddRichTextContentControl("richTextControl1")
    richTextControl1.PlaceholderText = "Enter your first name"
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 AddRichTextControlAtSelection method from the ThisAddIn_Startup method.

private Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.RichTextContentControl richTextControl1;

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

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

    richTextControl1 = vstoDoc.Controls.AddRichTextContentControl("richTextControl1");
    richTextControl1.PlaceholderText = "Enter your first name";
}
Dim richTextControl1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.RichTextContentControl

Private Sub AddRichTextControlAtSelection()
    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()
    richTextControl1 = vstoDoc.Controls.AddRichTextContentControl("richTextControl1")
    richTextControl1.PlaceholderText = "Enter your first name"
End Sub

Remarks

A RichTextContentControl can contain text as well as many other types of content, including tables, pictures, or other content controls. You can apply a combination of formatting and styles to text in a RichTextContentControl.

To create a document region that can only contain text, use a PlainTextContentControl.

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 RichTextContentControl 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.
