A listbox is a listbox, a control is a more generic term for the controls on
a form. So a listbox is a listbox, a textbox is a textbox, but both are also
controls.

You can test the controls collection for the control type


For Each ctl In Me.Controls
Select Case TypeName(ctl)
Case "CommandButton": MsgBox ctl.Caption
Select Case TypeName(ctl)
Case "TextBox": MsgBox ctl.Value
Select Case TypeName(ctl)
Case "Label": MsgBox ctl.Caption
'etc.
Next

I have this multipage userform, containing 16 listboxes in 16 pages.
page0 has no listbox.
Whenever an item is selected in one of these listboxes, some 30 lines of
code is needed to process that item.
The original code thus contained 16 x 30 lines of code.

It took me 2 years on and off to construct a loop to do the same stuff, in
about 40 lines of code.
It turns out that each list box is not a list box, it is a control.
Its position has nothing to do with page number, which in turn is
multipage.value

Amazing
