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.
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
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";
}
This version is for an application-level add-in that targets the .NET Framework 4. To use this code, paste it into the ThisAddIn class in your project, and call the AddDatePickerControlAtSelection method from the ThisAddIn_Startup method.
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
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";
