Combobox v Listbox
Hi,
Is the difference between comboboxes and listboxes only in their display and in reality both work in the same way? Mickey |

No, comboboxes are editable, listboxes are not. The display can be made the
same with property settings. -- HTH Bob Phillips "MBlake" wrote in message ... Hi, Is the difference between comboboxes and listboxes only in their display and in reality both work in the same way? Mickey |

And you could select multiple items in a listbox if you set it up that way.

Thanks for the replies, I am designing a userform that has to display
specific lists for the user to select from. Once a choice is made from the first list the second list will be filtered, for example user selects apples and gets a choice of green or red, if they choose banana they get a choice of yellow or green. I though it best to use combo boxes but perhaps list boxes would be the way forward. I would appreciate your thoughts on this.. Mickey |

If that list is small and can be seen without scrolling, I think (today anyway)
that a listbox is easier to use. (But that could change depending on the userform, too (footprint space??).)
