Programatically create Fully Functional DropdownList (or ComboBox) Content Controls

Paul, Graham

Graham appears to be correct. It seems my habit of using vbNullString in code has bitten me here. Revising my earlier Attempt2:

Code:

Sub Attempt5()
Dim oCC As ContentControl
  Set oCC = ActiveDocument.ContentControls.Add(wdContentControlDropdownList, Selection.Range)
  With oCC.DropdownListEntries
    .Add oCC.PlaceholderText, ""  'Using vbNullString in this Attempt2 seems to have been the problem.
    .Add "A", "Apples"
    .Add "B", "Beets"
  End With
lbl_Exit:
  Exit Sub
End Sub

Appears to work as well.
