The code sample below retrieves all building block galleries in a document:

C#

using DevExpress.XtraRichEdit;
using DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native;

using (var wordProcessor = new RichEditDocumentServer()) {

    wordProcessor.LoadDocument("Content Controls.docx");
    Document document = wordProcessor.Document;
    var contentControls = document.ContentControls;
    var firstParagraph = document.Paragraphs[0];
    for (var i = 0; i < contentControls.Count; i++)
    {
        if (firstParagraph.Range.Contains(contentControls[i].Range.Start) && contentControls[i].ControlType == ContentControlType.BuildingBlockGallery)
        {
            ContentControlComboBox comboBox = (ContentControlComboBox)contentControls[i];
            comboBox.Color = Color.Crimson;
            break;
        }
        wordProcessor.SaveDocument("Content Controls.docx", DocumentFormat.OpenXml);
    }
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraRichEdit
Imports DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native

Using wordProcessor = New RichEditDocumentServer()

  wordProcessor.LoadDocument("Content Controls.docx")
  Dim document As Document = wordProcessor.Document
  Dim contentControls = document.ContentControls
  Dim firstParagraph = document.Paragraphs(0)
  For i = 0 To contentControls.Count - 1
    If firstParagraph.Range.Contains(contentControls(i).Range.Start) AndAlso contentControls(i).ControlType = ContentControlType.BuildingBlockGallery Then
      Dim comboBox As ContentControlComboBox = CType(contentControls(i), ContentControlComboBox)
      comboBox.Color = Color.Crimson
      Exit For
    End If
    wordProcessor.SaveDocument("Content Controls.docx", DocumentFormat.OpenXml)
  Next i
End Using

Remove Building Block Gallery Content Controls

The ContentControlCollection.Remove method allows you to remove specific content control. You can also specify whether to keep control’s contents when the controls is removed.

The code sample below removes all building block galleries from the document:

C#

using DevExpress.XtraRichEdit;
using DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native;

using (var wordProcessor = new RichEditDocumentServer()) {
    Document document = wordProcessor.Document;
    var contentControls = document.ContentControls;

    for (var i = 0; i < contentControls.Count; i++)
    {
        if (contentControls[i].ControlType == ContentControlType.BuildingBlockGallery)
        {
            contentControls.Remove(contentControls[i], true);
        }
    }
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraRichEdit
Imports DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native

Using wordProcessor = New RichEditDocumentServer()
  Dim document As Document = wordProcessor.Document
  Dim contentControls = document.ContentControls

  Dim i = 0
  Do While i < contentControls.Count
    If contentControls(i).ControlType = ContentControlType.BuildingBlockGallery Then
      contentControls.Remove(contentControls(i), True)
    End If
    i += 1
  Loop
End Using
