Moves the Bookmark control while any of the specified characters are found in the document.

public int MoveWhile (ref object cset, ref object count);

abstract member MoveWhile : obj * obj -> int

Public Function MoveWhile (ByRef cset As Object, Optional ByRef count As Object) As Integer

Parameters

cset: Object

One or more characters. This argument is case sensitive.

count: Object

The maximum number of characters by which the Bookmark control is to be moved. Can be a number or either the wdForward or wdBackward constant. If Count is a positive number, the Bookmark control is moved forward in the document, beginning at the end position. If it is a negative number, the Bookmark control is moved backward, beginning at the start position. The default value is wdForward.

Returns

Int32

The number of characters by which the Bookmark control was moved. If no Cset characters are found, the Bookmark control is not changed and the method returns 0 (zero).

Examples

The following code example adds a Bookmark control with text to the first paragraph and then adds another Bookmark control to the third word in the first bookmark. The code then collapses and moves the second bookmark while it can find the characters b, o, o, or k.

This example is for a document-level customization.

private void BookmarkMoveWhile()
{
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark bookmark1 =
        this.Controls.AddBookmark(this.Paragraphs[1].Range,
        "bookmark1");
    bookmark1.Text = "This is sample bookmark text.";

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark bookmark2 =
        this.Controls.AddBookmark(bookmark1.Words[3],
        "bookmark2");

    object Count = bookmark1.Characters.Count;
    object cSet = "book";

    bookmark2.MoveWhile(ref cSet, ref Count);
}

Private Sub BookmarkMoveWhile()

    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    Dim Bookmark1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark = _
        Me.Controls.AddBookmark(Me.Paragraphs(1).Range, "Bookmark1")
    Bookmark1.Text = "This is sample bookmark text."

    Dim Bookmark2 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark = _
        Me.Controls.AddBookmark(Bookmark1.Words(3), "Bookmark2")

    Bookmark2.MoveWhile("stamp", Bookmark1.Characters.Count)
End Sub

Remarks

While any character in Cset is found, the Bookmark control is moved. The Bookmark is collapsed to a zero-length bookmark.
