Retrieve Values from Content Controls for hidden

john s. · #1 02-20-2014, 03:07 AM

Hello guys

I'm trying to Retrieve from 2 Dropdown Elements the Values.

And by an certain value ( example "hidden" ) the Content control should be
hidden .

And These case sould by query independent for both Content controls.

So i think i Need 1 certain value for each Content control element.

I'm not so familar with the vba things in word ...

Edit:

So now i found some vba code :

Code:

Function getCCValue(cc As ContentControl)
Dim ccLE As ContentControlListEntry
For Each ccLE In cc.DropdownListEntries
  If ccLE.Text = cc.Range.Text Then
    getCCValue = ccLE.Value
    Exit For
  End If
Next
End Function

Thanks
I think these code ther is an Collect from all Values from the Dropdownlist's is it right ?

The i Need the Definition by cases for Dropdown list1 and Dropdown list 2.

regards John s.

To retrieve the values, you'd need to compare each display text against the content control range and, when a match is achieved, query the corresponding value. You might just as well ignore the values and compare just the range's text against whatever your 'hidden' trigger is. If you're trying to work with specific content controls, give them titles and check whether ContentControl.Title matches any of those you're interested in.
