diference between FORMS & CONTROLS
Marek,
Forms controls are simpler and easier to use when you are starting out, but Control toolbox controls are far more flexible, and far more useful (IMO), Control toolbox controls have far more properties associated with them that can be set at design time, or in VBA, such as BackColor, etc. In addition you can add an item to a controls toolbox in VBA, you cannot with Forms, you can only link to a worksheet range, All in all, I never use Forms controls because of the lack of flexibility, but beware that control toolbox controls are not straightforward to use in code, because of the OLEObject container. -- HTH RP "Marek " wrote in message ... people, when i want to work with visual components placed on the worksheet, i use FORMS toolbar for example when i want to display value from combobox then i must use Drawingobjects or Dropdowns collection msgbox worksheets(1).dropdowns("combobox_number1").value but when i use CONTROL toolbar then i simply normally can do this msgbox worksheets(1).combobox_number1.value where is difference between this two TOOLBARS ??? visually they are similar --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |
