Examples

The following code example adds a CheckedListBox control to the first paragraph in the document, adds two items to the checked list box, and then selects the First Item check box. To use this example, run it from the ThisDocument class in a document-level project.

Private Sub WordRangeAddCheckedListBox()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    Dim CheckedListBox1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word. _
        Controls.CheckedListBox = Me.Controls.AddCheckedListBox( _
        Me.Paragraphs(1).Range, 90, 66.75F, "CheckedListBox1")
    CheckedListBox1.Items.Add("First Item")
    CheckedListBox1.Items.Add("Second Item")
    CheckedListBox1.SetItemChecked(0, True)
End Sub

private void WordRangeAddCheckedListBox()
{
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls.CheckedListBox 
        checkedListBox1 = this.Controls.AddCheckedListBox(
        this.Paragraphs[1].Range, 90, 66.75F, "checkedListBox1");
    checkedListBox1.Items.Add("First Item");
    checkedListBox1.Items.Add("Second Item");
