[Resolved] Urgent: VB - Word - Combo Box - Automation...

[onbliss]

I have a MS Word document that has several controls - text boxes and combo boxes. There is VBA code in the Word document to load values in the combo box.

I have a VB application that automates this word document. This application needs to paste text on to the text boxes and then read the combo box. It has to actually loop through the items, just like it is done in the visual basic programs.

Accessing the text boxes were easy. I name the bookmarks and am able to access them using the BookMarks and FormFields collection, but I am not able to access the combo box.

What is the way to access these combo boxes from a VB program?

Used the Oleformat property in the Field object.

'use this to find if the contol is a ocx control
doc.Fields.Item(intCount).Type = wdFieldOCX

'then can access the values like this

doc.Fields.Item(intCount).OLEFormat.Object.List(i)
