Hi,


Do you wish to use an XP look combobox?
I think your idea is right because MSForms class doesnt supply an XP look
controls
unless you use ActiveX controls... by using Xmlschemas manifest for Excel.exe

Hi there


I'm trying to use an activex combobox to display a list of data and
have it so that when a user picks on one, say BASIC it updates a
certain range of cells (say B82:B86) with values that I have defined
in a macro called basic. If they pick INCREASED it will update those
same cells except with numbers a little higher, which I have defined
in a macro called increased. I got a normalcomboboxworking, but it
is too large and ugly and obtrusive so I figured if I took my hand at
an activexboxI could keep my sheet looking pretty. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.


Thank you,
Alexander


Hi


I do not want the XP look, as I already have aboxthat looks like
that (i.e. with the big redxclose button and the ability the move) I
want the kind where you go to view, control toolbox, and then click
combobox.


Whats the problem with just using thecombo-boxfrom the control
toolbox?

David


I want to use the one from the control tool box. I just don't know
how to get the code to drive it to do what I want to do, such as a
launch a macro when a certain case is clicked.
