Remarks

This method performs the search using the values of the FullName and Name properties.

This method performs a search through the collection of document controls. Because the collection does not support random access, the method may be slow, as it checks up to all elements sequentially.

This method does not throw an exception if the control is not found. Instead, it returns false and outputs a null control reference.

You can use this method to fill in a PDF form.
