Excel 2010 / VBA/ problem with code to create listbox in userform

[danieltur]

Hi everybody,

I am a beginner with VBA, and need a little bit of help.

I am developing an application, in which I create checkboxes textboxes, comboboxes and listboxes.

I have a problem with the list boxes.


Here is my code:


Dim lecontrol As Control

Set lecontrol =userform1.controls.Add("forms.listbox.1", 1)

With lecontrol
.Top = dtopbx
.Left = leftoffset
.Name = "field" & huf- 1
.Width = dwidth
.SetFocus
End With

The result is the following: theUserForm displays the list of items, with a horizontal scrollbar and a verticalscrollbar, but there is no associated textbox zone, where the selectionnormally appears.
And I cannot select any item (please see attached picture).


If I replace in my code userform1.controls.Add("forms.listbox.1",1) with userform1.controls.Add("forms.combobox.1", 1), I create a"proper" Combobox, displayed and operating properly.

So, what's could be wrong with mycode?

Anybody?
Many thanks in advance for your kindhelp and your time.

Hello danieltur,

It may be the ProgID is case sensitive. Try using "Forms.ListBox.1" instead.

good Morning, Leith.

thank you for your msg.

in fact I was totally mistaken. I thought it was possible to get a listbox similar in apparence to a combobox, with a text zone (only to show the selection), and a button on the right, to avoid the list to be displayed permanently.

what I do now is to use a combobox instead of a listbox, with the property .style set to 2. The combobox behavior is then similar to the listbox I meant to create.

again, many thks for your time and kind understanding.

Best rgds,
