How to find out the value of a flag in a word file (* .doc) in VB.net using a Range object?

Question

How to find out the value of a flag in a word file (* .doc) in VB.net using a range object?

This is what I have so far:

Dim app As New Word.Application
Dim doc As Document
doc = app.Documents.Open("C:\myDoc.doc")
dim chkBox as Bookmark
chkBox = doc.Bookmarks("MyCheckbox")
Dim rng as Range
rng = chkBox.Range

where "MyCheckbox" is the flag tab in the word document.

Answer 1

Any specific reason why you are not reading the value of the flag using the name of the flag itself?

Dim ctl As InlineShape
For Each ctl In rng.InlineShapes
    If ctl.Type = wdInlineShapeOLEControlObject Then
        If ctl.OLEFormat.ClassType Like "Forms.CheckBox*" Then
            'current version of ctl is a checkbox, do what you will with it.

        End If
    End If
Next ctl
