I would like to create a VBA procedure that adds an ActiveX combo box in a worksheet, and sets the properties, specifically the ListFillRange, Linkedcell, and Boundcolumn. I would like the placement to be on the row right after the last populated cell on column D.
I understand that I will create a button that runs a procedure which adds a listbox, but I have not been able to change it’s properties.
I appreciate the help.
Try using “object”: (there are other ways, like using Shapes, I use this because I also need the objOLE for other reasons)
…
Dim wsRec As Worksheet
Dim sName As String
Dim objOLE As OLEObject
…
Set wsRec = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(“Recs”)
…
wsRec.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:=”Forms.ComboBox.1″, Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False, _
Left:=180, Top:=18.75, Width:=129, Height:=18.75).Name = sName
….
Set objOLE = wsRec.OLEObjects(sName)
objOLE.Object.BorderStyle = 1
objOLE.Object.SpecialEffect = 0
…
Set objOLE = Nothing
…
Set wsRec = Nothing
