Re: Custom content control

Hello,
thank you for your reply. Yes, you understand well. I thought that there could be a way to register your content control, which renders as normal content control with arrow like Date Picker or Combo Box. When the users clicks the arrow, my UI, be it either Windows Forms, WPF or at worst VBA form, would be showed in the drop-down.
I need this, to answer your next question, particularly to be able to query a database or remote server to get the possible data values. I can't provide extra button (or whatever) which would insert text directly into the document, since I need 1) to store the content data in separate data xml file packed in the docx file 2) the user to be able later change the selected value in otherwise locked document. Beside the UI, also mapping between values and the xml file would have to be defined with the custom content control.
Well if I would need to create an add-in for this functionality, good to know, if this could be packed within a document template, that would be much more useful for me.

I hope this gives some more insight to what I'm looking for. Feel free to ask any details.

Jan

Hello Jan,

From your post, my understanding on this issue is: you want to design a
custom control which provides customized ways to choose data. Would you let
me know whether it is a Office add-in? For instance, a Office add-in shows
a button in its command bar. When the button is clicked, a dialog is shown,
within which there are treeviews, etc and allow users to choose an item in
it. What is the source of the 'data'? Would you give a more detailed
description of your request? I am looking forward to your reply.

Sincerely,
Jialiang Ge (jialge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, remove 'online.')
