Examples
The following code example adds three Button controls to a worksheet. These buttons share a Click event handler that uses the Index property to display the index of the button that was clicked.
This example is for a document-level customization.
private void DisplayIndex()
{
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.Button indexButton1 =
this.Controls.AddButton(this.Range["B2", "C3"],
"indexButton1");
indexButton1.Text = "Click to view the index";
indexButton1.Click += new EventHandler(indexButton_Click);
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.Button indexButton2 =
this.Controls.AddButton(this.Range["B5", "C6"],
"indexButton2");
indexButton2.Text = "Click to view the index";
indexButton2.Click += new EventHandler(indexButton_Click);
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.Button indexButton3 =
this.Controls.AddButton(this.Range["B8", "C9"],
"indexButton3");
indexButton3.Text = "Click to view the index";
indexButton3.Click += new EventHandler(indexButton_Click);
}
void indexButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.Button clickedButton =
(Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.Button)sender;
MessageBox.Show("The index is " +
clickedButton.Index.ToString());
}
Private Sub DisplayIndex()
Dim IndexButton1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.Button = _
Me.Controls.AddButton(Me.Range("B2", "C3"), "IndexButton1")
IndexButton1.Text = "Click to view the index"
AddHandler IndexButton1.Click, AddressOf indexButton_Click
Dim IndexButton2 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.Button = _
Me.Controls.AddButton(Me.Range("B5", "C6"), "IndexButton2")
IndexButton2.Text = "Click to view the index"
AddHandler IndexButton2.Click, AddressOf indexButton_Click
Dim IndexButton3 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.Button = _
Me.Controls.AddButton(Me.Range("B8", "C9"), "IndexButton3")
IndexButton3.Text = "Click to view the index"
AddHandler IndexButton3.Click, AddressOf indexButton_Click
End Sub
Private Sub IndexButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim ClickedButton As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.Button = _
CType(sender, Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.Button)
MsgBox("The index is " & ClickedButton.Index.ToString())
End Sub
Remarks
The index value of controls added to the Microsoft Office Excel worksheet starts at 2 because it is the index of the OLEObjects collection of the sheet.
