With a Word ContentControl DatePicker how do i get the value?

ms-word, vba, word-2010

Solution

Is this what you are trying?

Private Sub Document_ContentControlOnExit(ByVal ContentControl _
As ContentControl, Cancel As Boolean)
    MsgBox ContentControl.Range.Text
End Sub

Problem

I have a ContentControl that is a DatePicker in a word document. I'm trying to use it to populate some value in a code behind but I cant seem to get the value out of it. ``` Private Sub Document_ContentControlOnExit(ByVal ContentControl As ContentControl, _ Cancel As Boolean) ``` None of the properties on ContentControl are close to .Value or .Text. I have seen other content controls use: ``` ContentControl.DropdownListEntries(1).Text ContentControl.DropdownListEntries(1).Value ``` This, as expected for a DatePicker, does not work but it is the only property of ContentControl that returns anything close to the value I want. How do i get the date from the DatePicker ContentControl?
