Hi,

is anyone aware of whether Application.ScreenUpdating = True also updates
settings on objects created using the control toolbox)? I am running into a
problem where not everything on the screen updates all the time and from the
pattern I am noticing, it seems that it always shows changes in the worksheet
itself, but sometimes does not show changes to objects on the worksheet.

Details:
My program runs in two modes - "one screen at a time" or "loop through many
screens." I set screenupdating to false no matter what.

In "one screen at a time" mode, everything displays as it should at the end
of each run. In this mode I don't explicitly update the screen but rely
instead on the fact that the screen updates when the sub ends.

In "loop through many screens" mode, I have the "do work" sub called from a
looping macro. Now I explicitly state screenupdating = true at the end of
each loop and I have a "wait" function that halts the running of the macro
allows one to see the display for a short while. All the changes occur (I
stepped through the code), but the display is not right. The worksheet
changes are there, but changes made to something like the caption of a
toggle button do not display.

My code is extremely long and and won't run without the data residing in the
worksheet. So I can't post it all. I am quite certain, however, that the
problem has nothing to do with the code since everything works right when I
step through the code. (In step into mode, the screen of course updates
properly as it always does.)

Is anyone out there aware of what the issue might be and how I might be able
to fix it?
