Parameters

range
Type: Range

A Range that provides the bounds for the control.

name
Type: System.String

The name of the control that can be used to index the control in the ControlCollection instance.

Return Value

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

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 AddTextBox method enables you to add TextBox objects to the end of the ControlCollection. To remove a TextBox that was previously added programmatically, use the Remove method.

The control automatically resizes when the range is resized.

Examples

The following code example adds a TextBox control to cells A1 through B2, and then assigns text to the control.

Private Sub ExcelRangeAddTextBox()
    Dim TextBox1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel. _
        Controls.TextBox = Me.Controls.AddTextBox( _
        Me.Range("A1", "B2"), "TextBox1")

    TextBox1.Text = "Sample text" 

End Sub

private void ExcelRangeAddTextBox()
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.TextBox
         textBox1 = this.Controls.AddTextBox(
         this.Range["A1", "B2"], "textBox1");
    textBox1.Text = "Sample text";
}
