Default Word Field Type - Fill In Prompt Problem (Word Insert Field in .NE

Hi,

Before I start please forgive me if I am posting this on the wrong discussion.

Currently I am working on trying to use Microsoft Word 2007 as a control in
windows form.

Basically I use this http://www.codeproject.com/office/WordInDotnet.asp code
as a base.

As part of the requirement is the user has to be able to add a Field with
type of Fill In.


I have manage to do that by using this code:

************************************************** *********
Document wd = objWinWordControl.document;

object fieldType = Word.WdFieldType.wdFieldFillIn;

object fieldText = "\"" + "SOME TEXT" + "\" \\d \"" + "SOME DEFAULT VALUE" +
"\"";

object preserveFormatting = true;

wd.Fields.Add(wd.Application.Selection.Range, ref fieldType, ref fieldText,
ref preserveFormatting);

bla.ShowCodes = false;

************************************************** *********

The only problem is whenever the code try to add the fields it prompts the
user asking what value it should have.

Surely it will have "SOME DEFAULT VALUE" in the message box and the user
just have to click OK but it still annoy the user.

So this is the 1st question:
Is there any way to prevent the program prompting the user?

If that can't be done then this 2nd problem will be relevant.

It seems that whenever a fill-in field added, during the prompt being shown
to the user, the form seems to always lost focus (with the 1st being the
exception), so this is only happening for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th field and so
on.

Just to make it clear whenever this code get executed:
wd.Fields.Add(wd.Application.Selection.Range, ref fieldType, ref fieldText,
ref preserveFormatting);
The whole program always lost focus.

So if there is a way to prevent the program prompting the user then the 2nd
problem will no longer be relevant.


I would really appreciate if some one can help me with this.
Thank you in advance for any help.
