Highlight a specific content control by ID programmatically

I am trying to highlight a content control in word 2007 header programmatically. I manage to do this in the main document, but the code can't find the content controls placed in the header.

My code looks like this

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to select content controls belonging to the header?

Hi,

If your content control is placed in Header part, how can you search in main document?

Seach in header part part of your document.

Hi,

Are you using VSTO for this?

If so, please check this line

Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveDocument

See what other menthods are available to get hold of header part.

If this does not help, post this issue in VSTO/Word 2007 specific forum.

in C#      

private IEnumerable<ContentControl> GetContentControls()

       {

           var document = Globals.ThisDocument.InnerObject;

           var result = new List<ContentControl>();

           if (document != null)

           {

               Range rangeStory;

               foreach (Range range in document.StoryRanges)

               {

                   rangeStory = range;

                   do

                   {

                       try

                       {

                           foreach (ContentControl contentControl in rangeStory.ContentControls)

                           {

                               result.Add(contentControl);

                           }

                       }

                       catch (COMException) { }

                       rangeStory = rangeStory.NextStoryRange;

                   }

                   while (rangeStory != null);

               }

               return result;

           }

           return null;
