Check Box Type Content Control

This tutorial explains how to create a Check Box Type Content Control in a Word document using Aspose.Words for .NET. Check box content controls allow users to select or clear a checkbox within the document.

Prerequisites

To follow this tutorial, you need to have the following:

• Aspose.Words for .NET library installed.
• Basic knowledge of C# and Words Processing with Word documents.

Step 1: Set up the Document Directory

Start by setting up the path to your document directory. Replace "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY" with the actual path to the directory where you want to save the document.

string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY";

Step 2: Create a Document and DocumentBuilder

Create a new instance of the Document class and a DocumentBuilder to build the document’s content.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Step 3: Add a Check Box Type Content Control

Create a StructuredDocumentTag with SdtType.Checkbox to represent the check box content control. Specify MarkupLevel.Inline to place it within the text.

StructuredDocumentTag sdtCheckBox = new StructuredDocumentTag(doc, SdtType.Checkbox, MarkupLevel.Inline);
builder.InsertNode(sdtCheckBox);

Step 4: Save the Document

Save the document to the specified directory using the Save method. Provide the desired filename with the appropriate file extension. In this example, we save the document as “WorkingWithSdt.CheckBoxTypeContentControl.docx”.

doc.Save(dataDir + "WorkingWithSdt.CheckBoxTypeContentControl.docx", SaveFormat.Docx);

Example source code for Check Box Type Content Control using Aspose.Words for .NET

	// Path to your document directory 
	string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY";

	Document doc = new Document();
	DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
	StructuredDocumentTag sdtCheckBox = new StructuredDocumentTag(doc, SdtType.Checkbox, MarkupLevel.Inline);
	builder.InsertNode(sdtCheckBox);
	doc.Save(dataDir + "WorkingWithSdt.CheckBoxTypeContentControl.docx", SaveFormat.Docx);

That’s it! You have successfully created a Check Box Type Content Control in your Word document using Aspose.Words for .NET.
