Description
If an empty string is supplied then any elements with no name are found. By default new elements are created with no name. To give an element a name so it can easily be found use one of the following methods: either supply a name string when using the AddElement method, or implement the IElementProperties interface.
[C#]
//Supply a name string in the AddElement method
axPageLayoutControl1.AddElement(myElement,null ,null, "myElementName",-1);
//Query Interface for IElementProperties interface
IElementProperties elementProperties = (IElementProperties) myElement;
elementProperties.Name = "myElementName";
axPageLayoutControl1.AddElement(myElement,null,null,null,-1);
[Visual Basic .NET]
'Supply a name string in the AddElement method
AxPageLayoutControl1.AddElement(myElement, , , "myElementName")
'Query Interface for IElementProperties interface
Dim pElementProperties As IElementProperties
pElementProperties = myElement
pElementProperties.Name = "myElementName"
AxPageLayoutControl1.AddElement(myElement)
