Disabling a shape object
 

Hi,
have created a SHAPE object, e.g.

Set objbtn = .Shapes.AddFormControl(xlButtonControl, 10, 20, 30, 40)

However would like it disabled by default - how can I set it to this?

Thanks.

Untested...
Set objbtn = .Shapes.AddFormControl(xlButtonControl, 10, 20, 30, 40)
objbtn.enabled = false

Tested....
....but it didn't work. This property is unknown.

Disabling a shape object
 

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim objBtn As Shape
With ActiveSheet
Set objBtn = .Shapes.AddFormControl(xlButtonControl, 10, 20, 30, 40)
objBtn.OLEFormat.Object.Enabled = False
objBtn.OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!aaa"
End With
End Sub
Sub aaa()
MsgBox "hi"
End Sub

============
I usually go through the buttons collection instead of the Shapes collection.

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim objBtn As Button
With ActiveSheet
Set objBtn = .Buttons.Add(10, 20, 30, 40)
objBtn.Enabled = False
objBtn.OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!aaa"
End With
End Sub
Sub aaa()
MsgBox "hi"
End Sub

It seems easier to me. (as you could tell from my initial (incorrect) guess.)
