Content controls provide a way for you to design documents. When you add a content control to a document, the control is identified by a border, a title, and temporary text that can provide instructions to the user, and can prevent users from editing or deleting protected sections of a document.
Bind parts of a document or template to data. You can bind content controls to database fields, managed objects in the .NET Framework, XML elements that are stored in the document, and other data sources.
This article illustrates how to get all controls and their properties including alias, id and tag via Spire.Doc with new method and replace the Barcode with another image.
Refer this article to check old method: Get alias, tag and id of content controls in a Word document in C#
The following is test file new.docx.
Here are the steps:
Step 1: Create a new Word document and load the test file.
Document doc = new Document(@"new.docx");
Step 2: Create a list StructureDocument to store tags. Here, each content control will be identified by tag.
public class StructureTags
{
List m_structureDocumnt;
public List StructureDocument
{
get
{
if (m_structureDocumnt == null)
m_structureDocumnt = new List();
return m_structureDocumnt;
}
}
}
Step 3: Use foreach sentence to get all tags in the Word document.
foreach (Section section in doc.Sections)
{
foreach (Body body in section.ChildObjects)
{
ModifyBody(body);
}
}
Step 4: Show the properties of all controls.
List tagInlines = structureTags.StructureDocument;
Console.WriteLine("Part1");
for (int i = 0; i < tagInlines.Count; i++)
{
string alias = tagInlines[i].SDTProperties.Alias; // Can be null or empty
decimal id = tagInlines[i].SDTProperties.Id;
string tag = tagInlines[i].SDTProperties.Tag;
string STDType = tagInlines[i].SDTProperties.SDTType.ToString();
Console.WriteLine("{0,20},{1,15},{2, 10} - {3}", alias, id, STDType, tag);
Console.ReadKey();
}
Step 5: Replace image inside of Picture Content Control.
doc.SaveToFile("replace1.docx", FileFormat.Docx2013);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("replace1.docx");
