Simple Way To Step Through Checkboxes
 

Folks,

Im hoping this is a simple question and Im just being dense.

I have a user form with around 30 check boxes, to select different
graphs to be displayed or hidden. I am wanting to cycle through the
checkboxes and then for each, if the user has checked the box display
the relevant series on the graphs. So the question is how do I step
from checkbox to checkbox to determine its value.

Thanks for any help,

Andrew

Hi,
Try this,

Dim ctl As Object
For Each ctl In userform1.Controls

'if within userform's codmodule
'For Each ctl In me.Controls

If TypeName(ctl) = "CheckBox" Then
If ctl.Value Then MsgBox ctl.Name & " : marked"
End If
Next

Hi,
Not tested but try this:

Dim myControl As MSForms.Control
For Each myControl In myForm.Controls
If TypeOf myControl Is MSForms.CheckBox Then
'something to do with myControl.Value
End If 'typeof
Next myControl

Well, the Userform object has a Controls collection which you could
loop through and do a TypeOf comparison to test which are CheckBox.
However, you would make things easier on yourself if in the form's
_Activate event you put all the relevant checkboxes into your own
Collection, array or similar, then you'd *know* where to look for them
later.
