c# word automation. How to get or read value from a textbox on a word document

[RobertK]

I am doing some word automation with c#. I need to be able to get
values from textboxes on the word document. Is there any way I could
find all the textbox control on the doc and loop through them?

Forgot to add a little detail. The textbox that I am trying to access
values from c# is a textbox object and was created from the Visual
basic toolbox. Its not a formfield.

Hi,

Well i'm dealing with almost the same problem..... you should maybe take a
look at Document.Shapes object .....

at least this is the place where a found AddTextBox method ..... and there
is a Count , i'm not sure but maybe this could be it ....

Oh... Kris, I see you found AddTextBox =)

That's correct, Robert. Enumerate Document.Shapes and get its property
called Type. It's msoShapeType that will be "msoTextBox" if it's TextBox..

Did you ever find the solution? Can you post it for me please?

Heres my solution.

MSForms.TextBox tb =
(MSForms.TextBox)oDoc.InlineShapes[1].OLEFormat.Object;

tb.text will give the value I am looking for.

thanks Andrey and Kristijen
