This text will be show in a label or textbox in other UserForm in a programmable time if no user interference. 1) textboxes are editable by default, i.e. the text can be "edited" by the user 2) What you mean is "formatting". Here it's all or nothing: The user can change font, font-size, color etc. only for the whole textbox, not for parts of it. You will have to provide a user interface for making these changes. Joerg |

Tim,
Use a Rich Text Box if you need different font/size etc in the single box. NickHK "Tim Armstrong" wrote in message news:Tim.Armstrong.2c4w5g_1154893809.2638@excelfor um-nospam.com... * Hello!

Is it possible to create a editable textbox?
Tim,
In the VBA Toolbox you should have an icon with horizontal blue lines and an "A" in the bottom right hand corner. Add that control to your user form.

Tim,
If it is not visible (although I thought it was included by default), right click on the Toolbox and select "Additional Controls...". Scroll down the list to "Microsoft Rich Textbox control and check the box on the left. Now you will have this control in the toolbox.

Is it possible to create a editable textbox?
Well, there is a "Microsoft Rich Text Box Control 6.0 (SP4)" in the list,
but trying to put it on the sheet produces a "cannot insert object". If I try to add it to the toolbox of the Macro Editor, the icon appears, but when I try to put it onto a form I get "The subject is not trusted for the specified action". As far as I can see this control came with an external add-on and does not belong to the original Excel2003. Maybe you refer to a different control. What's its name?

Is it possible to create a editable textbox?
Joerg,
OK, on my machine, I have VB6 installed as well, so my "Microsoft Rich Text Box Control 6.0 (SP6)" is may be installed from that. I also have a Chinese W2K with Office 2K + SP3 and that has a rich text box available. But another English W2K with Office 2K (no SPs) does not have the control available (although installing SP3 no makes no difference). So, now I'm not sure on this as availability seems to be "may be". The control is available for download from http://www.xerocreative.com/index.ph...d&sub=runtimes, although if this is legal or not I couldn't say, but it is marked as redistributable in VB6.

I think the bottomline is: Control may or may not be available and may or
may not work (BTW: do your controls work with Excel?). So it's probably not a solution for Excel applications to be distributed to other persons. Joerg "NickHK" wrote in message ...

Joerg,
The 2 systems that have the control, it functions as expected. There's to stop you using one of the (free) available installation package to install/register it if it's not present. Assuming the control is freely distributable. NickHK "Joerg" wrote in message ...

As you are using XL2003, this probably applies:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=838010 The suggested work around is to wrap the rich text box in a user control. You have VB6 available for this ? If not, I'm sure someone has done it already. If not, let me know and I'll see about writing one. NickHK "Joerg" wrote in message ...

Tim,
You can download and register the control from the link in my earlier post, but as there seems so many versions of this control, with various wrappers and also the Office.Forms instead of "normal" VB 5/6 controls, not to mention the various restrictions that seems to apply, I have no idea. All I can say is that the controls works fine on most of the systems I have available, but I do not know the reason when/if it is installed.

Is it possible to create a editable textbox?
Hi Nick
If you have VB6 or some other Visual Studio installed, then you are allowed to use this and that control in designtime, you're a programmer. VB6 code is compiled, so your VB6 apps can be deployed to other users pretty easy, the controls will run in runtime only on their systems (the "redistribulable" part). But VBA is not compiled, the users can open their VB editor and reprogram the userforms el al. Lots of controls refuse to work in that design time environment without a design time license. So having the control is one thing, having them properly registered is another, but they may still refuse to work. It is confusing, it has a name (dll hell) and it will never be easy or predictable.
