Method FindContentControlsEverywhere

Namespace: DocWright.Dom.ContentControls

Assembly: DocWright.Dom.dll

FindContentControlsEverywhere(WordDocument)

Finds every content control in the document body, its headers and footers, and its notes.

public static IReadOnlyList<ContentControl> FindContentControlsEverywhere(this WordDocument document)

Parameters

document WordDocument: The document.

Returns

IReadOnlyList<ContentControl>: The controls found, body first.

Remarks

Equivalent to FindContentControls(DomNode) on the same document, and kept because it names the guarantee a form-filling pass depends on: a control in a letterhead header is included, and skipping it leaves a document that still looks structurally correct.

It used to append the headers, footers and notes to that walk. They were already in it — Children has been a composite over all four collections since the DOM was written — so every control outside the body was returned twice, and a caller iterating the result filled each of them twice.

A control inside a text box is not reached. Shape content is emitted from a preserved island, so a control there exists in the markup DocWright re-emits but not as a node this walk can see.
