Hi Eric

Thank you so much for the reply.

I did indeed find those screen casts of yours (Excellent by the way) and realised what I needed to do as you have pointed out above. I’m currently doing that at the moment.

If I can possibly ask you another question on the same topic though I would very much appreciate it?

Using OpenXML I have this bit of code to get a list of all the form controls and whether they are checked or not

foreach (var ctrl in sheetPart.ControlPropertiesParts)
{
    string ctrlId = sheetPart.GetIdOfPart(ctrl);
    Console.Write($"Ctrl Id:{ctrlId} ");
    if (ctrl.FormControlProperties.Checked != null)
        Console.Write("Checked");
    Console.WriteLine();
}

and this bit of code to get all the AlternateContent which gives me the locations of all the form controls.

foreach (var altContent in sheetPart.DrawingsPart.WorksheetDrawing.OfType<DocumentFormat.OpenXml.AlternateContent>())
{
    DocumentFormat.OpenXml.AlternateContentChoice child = altContent.OfType<DocumentFormat.OpenXml.AlternateContentChoice>().FirstOrDefault();
    if (child != null)
    {
        var loc = child.OfType<TwoCellAnchor>().FirstOrDefault();
        if (loc != null)
        {
            var shp = loc.OfType<Shape>().FirstOrDefault();
            if (shp != null)
            {
                var shpProp = shp.OfType<NonVisualShapeProperties>().FirstOrDefault();
                var dwgProp = shpProp.OfType<NonVisualDrawingProperties>().FirstOrDefault();
                Console.WriteLine($"Shape Id:{dwgProp.Id} Name:{dwgProp.Name}");
            }
            var frm = loc.OfType<FromMarker>().FirstOrDefault();
            var to = loc.OfType<ToMarker>().FirstOrDefault();
            if (frm != null && to != null)
            {
                int frmCol = int.Parse(frm.ColumnId.Text);
                int frmColOff = int.Parse(frm.ColumnOffset.Text);
                int frmRow = int.Parse(frm.RowId.Text);
                int frmRowOff = int.Parse(frm.RowOffset.Text);

                int toCol = int.Parse(to.ColumnId.Text);
                int toColOff = int.Parse(to.ColumnOffset.Text);
                int toRow = int.Parse(to.RowId.Text);
                int toRowOff = int.Parse(to.RowOffset.Text);
                Console.WriteLine($"From Col:{frmCol}:{frmColOff}  Row:{frmRow}:{frmRowOff}");
                Console.WriteLine($"To   Col:{toCol}:{toColOff}  Row:{toRow}:{toRowOff}");
            }
        }
    }
}

However, I can’t see anywhere that links the two lists together. I don’t know which form control relates to which AlternateContent control.

If I look at the raw Xml I can see the relationship Id’s that link them but I can’t see these relationship Id’s in any of the properties of any of the objects in OpenXML that I am dealing with.

Can you point me in the right direction by any chance?

Regards
Paul
