Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls Namespace

The Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls namespace contains a set of Windows Forms controls that can be used on a Document host item in an Office solution. Each of these classes extends a base class that is in the System.Windows.Forms namespace with additional functionality specific to a Microsoft Office Word document. For example, the Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls.Button class extends the functionality of the System.Windows.Forms.Button class.

You can add and remove the controls in this namespace at run time by using the appropriate method. For example, use the AddButton method to add a Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls.Button to a document at run time. For more information, see Adding Controls to Office Documents at Run Time.

In a document-level project for Word, you can also add the controls in this namespace to your Word document at design time by dragging a control from the Toolbox directly to your document. For more information, see How to: Add Windows Forms Controls to Office Documents.

There are some differences between Windows Forms controls that are added to Word documents and Windows Forms controls that are added to Windows Forms. For more information, see Limitations of Windows Forms Controls on Office Documents.
