The distance in points between the top edge of the control and the top edge of the worksheet.

width

The name of the control.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.PictureBox
The PictureBox 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 argument is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or has zero length.
ControlNameAlreadyExistsException	A control with the same name is already in the ControlCollection instance.

Remarks

The AddPictureBox method enables you to add PictureBox objects to the end of the ControlCollection. To remove a PictureBox control that was previously added programmatically, use the Remove method.

Examples

The following code example adds a PictureBox control to the top of the worksheet, and then adds an image. The example assumes a file named Image.jpg exists at the root of the C directory. To use this example, run it from the Sheet1 class in a document-level project.

Private Sub ExcelAddPictureBox()

        Dim PictureBox1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools. _
            Excel.Controls.PictureBox = Me.Controls. _
            AddPictureBox(0, 0, 150, 150, "PictureBox1")

        PictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Image. _
            FromFile("C:\Image.jpg")

    End Sub

private void ExcelAddPictureBox()
{

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.PictureBox
         pictureBox1 = this.Controls.AddPictureBox(
         0, 0, 150, 150, "pictureBox1");
    pictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(
        "C:\\Image.jpg");
}
