Public Function AddPropertyGrid ( _
    range As Range, _
    name As String _
) As PropertyGrid
'Usage
Dim instance As ControlCollection
Dim range As 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.

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 AddPropertyGrid method enables you to add PropertyGrid objects to the end of the ControlCollection. To remove a PropertyGrid control 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 PropertyGrid control to cells A1 through C12 and a Button control to cell A14. It then displays the properties of the button in the PropertyGrid.

    Private Sub ExcelRangeAddPropertyGrid()
        Dim PropertyGrid1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel. _
            Controls.PropertyGrid = Me.Controls. _
            AddPropertyGrid(Me.Range("A1", "C12"), _
            "PropertyGrid1")

        Dim Button1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel. _
            Controls.Button = Me.Controls.AddButton( _
            Me.Range("A14"), "Button1")

        Button1.Text = "OK"
        PropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = Button1

    End Sub

private void ExcelRangeAddPropertyGrid()
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.PropertyGrid
         propertyGrid1 = this.Controls.AddPropertyGrid(
         this.Range["A1", "C12"], "propertyGrid1");

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.Button button1 =
        this.Controls.AddButton(this.Range["A14", missing],
        "button1");
    button1.Text = "OK";

    propertyGrid1.SelectedObject = button1;
}
