Namespace:  Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel
Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.v4.0.Utilities (in Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.v4.0.Utilities.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<ExtensionAttribute> _
Public Shared Function AddHScrollBar ( _
    controls As ControlCollection, _
    range As Range, _
    name As String _
) As HScrollBar
public static HScrollBar AddHScrollBar(
    this ControlCollection controls,
    Range range,
    string name
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.HScrollBar
The HScrollBar control that was added to the ControlCollection instance.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type ControlCollection. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

The name or range argument is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), or the name argument has zero length.

ControlNameAlreadyExistsException

A control with the same name is already in the ControlCollection instance.

InvalidRangeException

The range that was specified is not valid. Multi-area ranges cannot be used. The range should be on the same worksheet as the ControlCollection instance.

Remarks

The AddHScrollBar method enables you to add HScrollBar objects to the end of the ControlCollection. To remove an HScrollBar control that was previously added programmatically, use the Remove method.

The control automatically resizes when the range is resized.

Examples

The following code example adds an HScrollBar control to cells A1 through B1, and then moves the scroll box to the center of the scroll bar. To use this example, run it from the Sheet1 class in a document-level project.

    Private Sub ExcelRangeAddHScrollBar()
        Dim HScrollBar1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel. _
            Controls.HScrollBar = Me.Controls. _
            AddHScrollBar(Me.Range("A1", "B1"), _
            "HScrollBar1")
        HScrollBar1.Value = 50

    End Sub

private void ExcelRangeAddHScrollBar()
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.HScrollBar
        hScrollBar1 = this.Controls.AddHScrollBar(
        this.Range["A1", "B1"], "hScrollBar1");
    hScrollBar1.Value = 50;
}
