Identifying Control type
 

Hi,
When looping through all the controls collection on a form is there a
property that can be examined to determine what type of control each control
is?

Sub FindOutWhatKind()
Dim Ctrl As MSForms.Control
For Each Ctrl In UserForm1.Controls
MsgBox TypeName(Ctrl)
Next
Set Ctrl = Nothing
End Sub

Sub FindOutWhatKind2()
Dim Ctrl As MSForms.Control
For Each Ctrl In UserForm1.Controls
If TypeOf Ctrl Is MSForms.CheckBox Then
MsgBox Ctrl.Name
ElseIf TypeOf Ctrl Is MSForms.CommandButton Then
MsgBox Ctrl.Name
'more ElseIf
End If
Next
Set Ctrl = Nothing
End Sub
